Ocean Abyss vs Showtime
Ocean Abyss (Behr) and Showtime (Benjamin Moore) come from different manufacturers. Ocean Abyss reads as blue, while Showtime reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 46-point LRV gap — 54 for Showtime vs 7 for Ocean Abyss — means Showtime will open up a space more effectively. Where Ocean Abyss leans blue, Showtime reads yellow and red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 74.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
