Horizon vs Salt
Horizon (Benjamin Moore) and Salt (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Horizon reads as green-grey, while Salt reads as greige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 5-point LRV gap — 78 for Salt vs 73 for Horizon — means Salt will open up a space more effectively. Where Horizon leans green, Salt reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.6 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Horizon vs Salt in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Horizon and Salt are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Salt has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Horizon vs Salt Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Horizon on one side and Salt on the other.
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.
