Blue Stream vs Horizon

Blue StreamBenjamin MoorevsHorizonBenjamin MooreΔE 14.3 — Distinct difference

Blue Stream and Horizon come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Blue Stream reads as blue, while Horizon reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 17-point LRV gap — 73 for Horizon vs 56 for Blue Stream — means Horizon will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Stream leans cool, Horizon reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 14.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
