Spring IrisBenjamin MoorevsTequila LimeBenjamin MooreΔE 75.9 — Very different colors

Spring Iris and Tequila Lime come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Spring Iris belongs to the blue-purple family and Tequila Lime to the yellow family. The 23-point LRV gap — 65 for Spring Iris vs 42 for Tequila Lime — means Spring Iris will open up a space more effectively. Where Spring Iris leans blue and purple, Tequila Lime reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 75.9 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.
