SanctuaryBenjamin MoorevsStratton BlueBenjamin MooreΔE 15.3 — Distinct difference

Sanctuary and Stratton Blue come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Sanctuary belongs to the grey family and Stratton Blue to the blue-green family. The 4-point LRV gap — 42 for Sanctuary vs 38 for Stratton Blue — means Sanctuary will open up a space more effectively. Where Sanctuary leans red, Stratton Blue reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 15.3 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.
