Boothbay Gray vs Sioux Falls paint color comparison

Boothbay Gray vs Sioux Falls

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both blue-greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-green to land. At LRV 43 vs 29, Boothbay Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 14-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a green quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 13.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
