Luxe vs Thunder

Luxe and Thunder come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Luxe belongs to the blue-grey family and Thunder to the greige-grey family. The 26-point LRV gap — 48 for Thunder vs 22 for Luxe — means Thunder will open up a space more effectively. Where Luxe leans blue, Thunder reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 29.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
