Peony vs Verdigris
Peony and Verdigris come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Peony reads as pink-red, while Verdigris reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 19 vs 17 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Peony leans red, Verdigris reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 69.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Peony vs Verdigris in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Seeing Peony and Verdigris in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Peony brings more warmth to the space, while Verdigris keeps things cooler and crisper.

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.
