Bordeaux Red vs Light Touch

Bordeaux Red and Light Touch come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Bordeaux Red reads as pink-red, while Light Touch reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 73-point LRV gap — 83 for Light Touch vs 9 for Bordeaux Red — means Light Touch will open up a space more effectively. Where Bordeaux Red leans red, Light Touch reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 67.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
