Kangaroo vs Normandy

KangarooBenjamin MoorevsNormandyBenjamin MooreΔE 31.2 — Very different colors

Kangaroo and Normandy come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Kangaroo belongs to the beige-greige family and Normandy to the blue-grey family. The 22-point LRV gap — 44 for Kangaroo vs 22 for Normandy — means Kangaroo will open up a space more effectively. Where Kangaroo leans red, Normandy reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 31.2 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.

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.
