Flower Box vs Thunder

Flower BoxBenjamin MoorevsThunderBenjamin MooreΔE 23.6 — Distinct difference

Flower Box and Thunder come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Flower Box reads as blue-grey, while Thunder reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 19-point LRV gap — 48 for Thunder vs 29 for Flower Box — means Thunder will open up a space more effectively. Where Flower Box leans blue, Thunder reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 23.6 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.
