Labrador Blue vs Vast Lake
Where Labrador Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Vast Lake is a Dulux color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Labrador Blue (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Vast Lake (LRV 31), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Labrador Blue runs blue while Vast Lake is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Labrador Blue vs Vast Lake in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Labrador Blue and Vast Lake are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.

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.
