Hope Chest vs Normandy
Hope Chest and Normandy come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Hope Chest belongs to the beige-greige family and Normandy to the blue-grey family. The 9-point LRV gap — 22 for Normandy vs 13 for Hope Chest — means Normandy will open up a space more effectively. Where Hope Chest leans red, Normandy reads blue — 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.

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.
