Safari vs Sparrow

SafariBenjamin MoorevsSparrowBenjamin MooreΔE 36.4Very different colors

Safari and Sparrow come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Safari reads as beige, while Sparrow reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 43-point LRV gap — 64 for Safari vs 21 for Sparrow — means Safari will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 36.4 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.
