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.

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.
