Mysterious vs Sycamore Tree

MysteriousBenjamin MoorevsSycamore TreeBenjamin MooreΔE 48.1 — Very different colors

Mysterious and Sycamore Tree come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Mysterious belongs to the blue-grey family and Sycamore Tree to the yellow family. The 20-point LRV gap — 28 for Sycamore Tree vs 9 for Mysterious — means Sycamore Tree will open up a space more effectively. Where Mysterious leans blue, Sycamore Tree reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 48.1 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.
