Spring Iris vs Tea Light

Spring IrisBenjamin MoorevsTea LightBenjamin MooreΔE 17.3 — Distinct difference

Spring Iris and Tea Light come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Spring Iris belongs to the blue-purple family and Tea Light to the green-yellow family. The 5-point LRV gap — 65 for Spring Iris vs 60 for Tea Light — means Spring Iris will open up a space more effectively. Where Spring Iris leans blue and purple, Tea Light reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 17.3 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.
