Calypso Blue vs Flame
Calypso Blue and Flame come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Calypso Blue reads as blue, while Flame reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 21 for Flame vs 18 for Calypso Blue — means Flame will open up a space more effectively. Where Calypso Blue leans blue, Flame reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 94.8 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.
