Nelson Blue vs Raspberry Ice

Nelson Blue and Raspberry Ice come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Nelson Blue reads as blue-green, while Raspberry Ice reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 11-point LRV gap — 76 for Raspberry Ice vs 65 for Nelson Blue — means Raspberry Ice will open up a space more effectively. Where Nelson Blue leans green, Raspberry Ice reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
