Kona and Providence Blue come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Kona reads as beige-greige, while Providence Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 19 for Providence Blue vs 12 for Kona — means Providence Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Kona leans red, Providence Blue reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.
