Black Sapphire vs Super Nova
Black Sapphire (Behr) and Super Nova (Benjamin Moore) come from different manufacturers. Black Sapphire reads as blue-grey, while Super Nova reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 10 for Super Nova vs 7 for Black Sapphire — means Super Nova will open up a space more effectively. Where Black Sapphire leans blue, Super Nova reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
