Interlude vs Normandy

InterludeBenjamin MoorevsNormandyBenjamin MooreΔE 29.6 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Interlude belongs to the beige-greige family and Normandy to the blue-grey family. Interlude (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Normandy (LRV 22), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Interlude runs red while Normandy is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
