Irises vs Mystical Blue
Irises and Mystical Blue come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Irises reads as blue-grey, while Mystical Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 46-point LRV gap — 73 for Mystical Blue vs 26 for Irises — means Mystical Blue will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 32.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Irises vs Mystical Blue Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Irises on one side and Mystical Blue 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.
