Garden PathBenjamin MoorevsViolet PetalBenjamin MooreΔE 23.0 — Distinct difference

Garden Path and Violet Petal come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Garden Path reads as green-grey, while Violet Petal reads as purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 11-point LRV gap — 54 for Violet Petal vs 43 for Garden Path — means Violet Petal will open up a space more effectively. Where Garden Path leans green, Violet Petal reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 23.0 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.
