Caribbean Cool vs Tea with Florence

Caribbean Cool (Benjamin Moore) and Tea with Florence (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 39-point LRV gap — 57 for Caribbean Cool vs 18 for Tea with Florence — means Caribbean Cool will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 33.7 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. 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.
