LimonBenjamin MoorevsSwiss BlueBenjamin MooreΔE 71.9 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Limon belongs to the beige-yellow family and Swiss Blue to the blue family. Limon (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Swiss Blue (LRV 53), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Limon runs yellow while Swiss Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 71.9, 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.
