Thicket vs Violet Sparkle

ThicketBenjamin MoorevsViolet SparkleBenjamin MooreΔE 30.9 — Very different colors

Thicket and Violet Sparkle come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Thicket reads as beige-greige, while Violet Sparkle reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 35-point LRV gap — 69 for Violet Sparkle vs 34 for Thicket — means Violet Sparkle will open up a space more effectively. Where Thicket leans yellow, Violet Sparkle reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 30.9 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.
