Flame vs Harbor Side Blue
Flame and Harbor Side Blue come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Flame belongs to the pink-red family and Harbor Side Blue to the blue family. The 19-point LRV gap — 40 for Harbor Side Blue vs 21 for Flame — means Harbor Side Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Flame leans red, Harbor Side Blue reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 100.8 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.
