Nelson Blue vs Raindance
Nelson Blue and Raindance come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Nelson Blue belongs to the blue-green family and Raindance to the green-grey family. The 22-point LRV gap — 65 for Nelson Blue vs 43 for Raindance — means Nelson Blue will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 13.3 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.

Nelson Blue vs Raindance Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Nelson Blue on one side and Raindance on the other.
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.
