HazelwoodBenjamin MoorevsStunningBenjamin MooreΔE 48.9 — Very different colors

Hazelwood and Stunning come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Hazelwood belongs to the beige-greige family and Stunning to the blue family. The 41-point LRV gap — 49 for Hazelwood vs 8 for Stunning — means Hazelwood will open up a space more effectively. Where Hazelwood leans red, Stunning reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 48.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
