Blue Viola vs Super Nova

Blue ViolaBenjamin MoorevsSuper NovaBenjamin MooreΔE 40.2 — Very different colors

Blue Viola and Super Nova come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Viola belongs to the blue family and Super Nova to the grey family. The 37-point LRV gap — 46 for Blue Viola vs 10 for Super Nova — means Blue Viola will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 40.2 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.
