Grasshopper vs Dix Blue
Where Grasshopper belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Dix Blue is a Farrow & Ball color. Grasshopper reads as beige-greige, while Dix Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Grasshopper (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Dix Blue (LRV 41), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Grasshopper runs yellow while Dix Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
