Riviera Azure vs Thunder

Riviera Azure and Thunder come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Riviera Azure reads as blue, while Thunder reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 48 for Thunder vs 45 for Riviera Azure — means Thunder will open up a space more effectively. Where Riviera Azure leans blue, Thunder reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 24.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
