Heavenly Blue vs Raccoon Hollow paint color comparison

Heavenly Blue vs Raccoon Hollow

Heavenly Blue and Raccoon Hollow come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Heavenly Blue belongs to the blue family and Raccoon Hollow to the greige-grey family. The 28-point LRV gap — 56 for Heavenly Blue vs 29 for Raccoon Hollow — means Heavenly Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Heavenly Blue leans green, Raccoon Hollow reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 24.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
