Old Glory vs Royal Silk

Old GloryBenjamin MoorevsRoyal SilkBenjamin MooreΔE 63.3 — Very different colors

Old Glory and Royal Silk come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Old Glory reads as blue, while Royal Silk reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 62-point LRV gap — 78 for Royal Silk vs 16 for Old Glory — means Royal Silk will open up a space more effectively. Where Old Glory leans blue, Royal Silk reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 63.3 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.

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.
