MorrelBenjamin MoorevsProvidence BlueBenjamin MooreΔE 31.3 — Very different colors

Morrel and Providence Blue come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Morrel belongs to the beige-greige family and Providence Blue to the blue-grey family. The 13-point LRV gap — 32 for Morrel vs 19 for Providence Blue — means Morrel will open up a space more effectively. Where Morrel leans red, Providence Blue reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 31.3 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.
