Eggplant vs Once Upon a Time
Eggplant and Once Upon a Time come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Eggplant reads as pink, while Once Upon a Time reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 21 for Once Upon a Time vs 11 for Eggplant — means Once Upon a Time will open up a space more effectively. Where Eggplant leans red, Once Upon a Time reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 72.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Eggplant vs Once Upon a Time Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Eggplant on one side and Once Upon a Time 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.
