Celestia Blue vs Pine Forest paint color comparison

Celestia Blue vs Pine Forest

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Celestia Blue reads as blue, while Pine Forest reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Celestia Blue (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Pine Forest (LRV 49), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Celestia Blue runs blue while Pine Forest is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
