Flower Power vs Iron Ore

Flower PowerBenjamin MoorevsIron OreSherwin-WilliamsΔE 82.5Very different colors

Flower Power (Benjamin Moore) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Flower Power belongs to the beige-yellow family and Iron Ore to the grey family. The 49-point LRV gap — 55 for Flower Power vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Flower Power will open up a space more effectively. Where Flower Power leans yellow, Iron Ore reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 82.5 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
