Santorini Blue vs Bone China Blue
Where Santorini Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Bone China Blue is a Little Greene color. Hue-wise, Santorini Blue belongs to the blue family and Bone China Blue to the blue-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (45 vs 47), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Santorini Blue vs Bone China Blue in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Santorini Blue and Bone China 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.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

Santorini Blue vs Bone China Blue Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Santorini Blue on one side and Bone China 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.
