Hazy Blue vs Salsa
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hazy Blue reads as blue, while Salsa reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hazy Blue (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Salsa (LRV 19), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hazy Blue runs green and blue while Salsa is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 89.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
