Bracken BlueBenjamin MoorevsWhite HeronBenjamin MooreΔE 37.6Very different colors

Bracken Blue and White Heron come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Bracken Blue reads as blue, while White Heron reads as white-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 53-point LRV gap — 87 for White Heron vs 33 for Bracken Blue — means White Heron will open up a space more effectively. Where Bracken Blue leans blue, White Heron reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 37.6 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
