Hazy Blue vs Kalamata
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Hazy Blue belongs to the blue family and Kalamata to the pink family. Hazy Blue (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Kalamata (LRV 11), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hazy Blue runs green and blue while Kalamata is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 51.9, 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.
