Jamestown Blue vs Neon
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Jamestown Blue belongs to the blue family and Neon to the yellow family. Neon (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Jamestown Blue (LRV 34), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jamestown Blue runs blue while Neon is decidedly green and yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 47.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
