Normandy vs Royal Flax

Normandy and Royal Flax come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Normandy belongs to the blue-grey family and Royal Flax to the beige-greige family. The 32-point LRV gap — 53 for Royal Flax vs 22 for Normandy — means Royal Flax will open up a space more effectively. Where Normandy leans blue, Royal Flax reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 33.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
