Normandy vs Papaya
Normandy and Papaya come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Normandy reads as blue-grey, while Papaya reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 46-point LRV gap — 67 for Papaya vs 22 for Normandy — means Papaya will open up a space more effectively. Where Normandy leans blue, Papaya reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 42.6 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.
