Delphinium vs Pale Straw
Delphinium and Pale Straw come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Delphinium reads as blue, while Pale Straw reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 77-point LRV gap — 87 for Pale Straw vs 10 for Delphinium — means Pale Straw will open up a space more effectively. Where Delphinium leans blue, Pale Straw reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 82.8 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.
