Pink Attraction vs Poolside Blue paint color comparison

Pink Attraction vs Poolside Blue

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Pink Attraction reads as pink-red, while Poolside Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pink Attraction (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Poolside Blue (LRV 40), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pink Attraction runs red while Poolside Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 53.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
