Dragonfly vs Inchyra Blue
Dragonfly is a Benjamin Moore color while Inchyra Blue comes from Farrow & Ball. Dragonfly reads as blue, while Inchyra Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 12 and 13, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Dragonfly's blue character against Inchyra Blue's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Dragonfly vs Inchyra Blue in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Dragonfly and Inchyra Blue 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Dragonfly vs Inchyra Blue Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Dragonfly on one side and Inchyra Blue on the other.
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.
