Raindance vs Green Blue
Where Raindance belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Green Blue is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Raindance belongs to the green-grey family and Green Blue to the blue-green family. Green Blue (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Raindance (LRV 43), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Raindance runs green while Green Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Raindance vs Green Blue in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Raindance and Green Blue are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Green Blue reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Raindance vs Green Blue Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Raindance on one side and Green Blue on the other.
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.
