Horizon vs New Dawn

HorizonBenjamin MoorevsNew DawnBenjamin MooreΔE 64.5 — Very different colors

Horizon and New Dawn come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Horizon belongs to the green-grey family and New Dawn to the beige family. The 34-point LRV gap — 73 for Horizon vs 39 for New Dawn — means Horizon will open up a space more effectively. Where Horizon leans warm, New Dawn reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 64.5 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.
