Chicago BluesBenjamin MoorevsFireflyBenjamin MooreΔE 88.7 — Very different colors

Chicago Blues and Firefly come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Chicago Blues belongs to the blue family and Firefly to the beige family. The 37-point LRV gap — 55 for Firefly vs 18 for Chicago Blues — means Firefly will open up a space more effectively. Where Chicago Blues leans blue, Firefly reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 88.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
