Hydrangea vs Key Lime

HydrangeaBenjamin MoorevsKey LimeBenjamin MooreΔE 63.2 — Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hydrangea reads as purple, while Key Lime reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 71 vs 37, Key Lime will read as the brighter of the two — a 34-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Hydrangea's purple character against Key Lime's green — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 63.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
