Instinct vs Lychee

Instinct and Lychee come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Instinct reads as blue, while Lychee reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 26-point LRV gap — 81 for Lychee vs 55 for Instinct — means Lychee will open up a space more effectively. Where Instinct leans blue, Lychee reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 21.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
