Bordeaux Red vs Gulf Stream
Bordeaux Red and Gulf Stream come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Bordeaux Red belongs to the pink-red family and Gulf Stream to the blue family. The 29-point LRV gap — 39 for Gulf Stream vs 9 for Bordeaux Red — means Gulf Stream will open up a space more effectively. Where Bordeaux Red leans red, Gulf Stream reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 54.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
