Glacier BlueBenjamin MoorevsDix BlueFarrow & BallΔE 17.7Distinct difference

Glacier Blue (Benjamin Moore) and Dix Blue (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Glacier Blue reads as blue, while Dix Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 29-point LRV gap — 70 for Glacier Blue vs 41 for Dix Blue — means Glacier Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Glacier Blue leans blue, Dix Blue reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 17.7 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.
