HeartsmereBenjamin MoorevsStunningBenjamin MooreΔE 65.4 — Very different colors

Heartsmere and Stunning come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Heartsmere belongs to the beige family and Stunning to the blue family. The 62-point LRV gap — 70 for Heartsmere vs 8 for Stunning — means Heartsmere will open up a space more effectively. Where Heartsmere leans red, Stunning reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 65.4 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.
