Celtic FolkloreBenjamin MoorevsSugarplumBenjamin MooreΔE 49.3 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Celtic Folklore reads as yellow, while Sugarplum reads as purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sugarplum (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Celtic Folklore (LRV 67), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Celtic Folklore runs green while Sugarplum is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.3, 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.
