Chic Lime vs Crocus

Chic LimeBenjamin MoorevsCrocusBenjamin MooreΔE 68.3 — Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Chic Lime reads as beige-yellow, while Crocus reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 65 vs 43, Chic Lime will read as the brighter of the two — a 22-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Chic Lime's yellow character against Crocus's purple — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 68.3, 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.
