Lafayette Blue vs White Heron

Lafayette BlueBenjamin MoorevsWhite HeronBenjamin MooreΔE 39.6Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Lafayette Blue reads as blue, while White Heron reads as white-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 87 vs 37, White Heron will read as the brighter of the two — a 50-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Lafayette Blue's blue character against White Heron's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 39.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
