Serenity vs Hicks' Blue
Serenity (Benjamin Moore) and Hicks' Blue (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Serenity has an LRV of 68. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 50.8 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.

Serenity vs Hicks' Blue Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Serenity on one side and Hicks' 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.
