Flint vs Orange Nectar

FlintBenjamin MoorevsOrange NectarBenjamin MooreΔE 78.6 — Very different colors

Flint and Orange Nectar come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Flint belongs to the grey family and Orange Nectar to the pink-red family. The 11-point LRV gap — 23 for Orange Nectar vs 12 for Flint — means Orange Nectar will open up a space more effectively. Where Flint leans blue, Orange Nectar reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 78.6 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.

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.
