Neon vs White Heron

NeonBenjamin MoorevsWhite HeronBenjamin MooreΔE 33.6 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Neon belongs to the yellow family and White Heron to the white-yellow family. White Heron (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Neon (LRV 72), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Neon runs green and yellow while White Heron is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
