Covington Blue vs Imagine
Where Covington Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Imagine is a Jotun color. Covington Blue reads as blue-green, while Imagine reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Imagine (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Covington Blue (LRV 43), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Covington Blue runs green while Imagine is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Covington Blue vs Imagine in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Covington Blue and Imagine are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Imagine gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Imagine reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
