Magic Potion vs Monet

Magic PotionBenjamin MoorevsMonetBenjamin MooreΔE 3.6 — Noticeable difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Magic Potion reads as grey, while Monet reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (40 vs 40), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Magic Potion runs warm while Monet is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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. 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.
