Comet vs French Macaroon

CometBenjamin MoorevsFrench MacaroonBenjamin MooreΔE 29.2 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Comet reads as blue-grey, while French Macaroon reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. French Macaroon (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Comet (LRV 36), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while French Macaroon is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.2, 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.
