Casabella vs Dix Blue

CasabellaBenjamin MoorevsDix BlueFarrow & BallΔE 34.4Very different colors

Casabella is a Benjamin Moore color while Dix Blue comes from Farrow & Ball. Casabella reads as beige, while Dix Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 45 vs 41, Casabella will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Casabella's warm character against Dix Blue's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 34.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
