Mauve Bauhaus vs When Red Met Blue
Where Mauve Bauhaus belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, When Red Met Blue is a Cloverdale Paint color.

Mauve Bauhaus (LRV 13) reflects noticeably more light than When Red Met Blue (LRV 9), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
