Monet vs Somerville Red
Monet and Somerville Red come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Monet reads as pink, while Somerville Red reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 21-point LRV gap — 40 for Monet vs 19 for Somerville Red — means Monet will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 21.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
