Dolphin vs Baluster
Where Dolphin belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Baluster is a Little Greene color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (24 vs 23), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Dolphin runs yellow while Baluster is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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.
