Shark FinBehrvsThames FogValsparΔE 7.4Noticeable difference

The 3-point LRV gap — 31 for Shark Fin vs 27 for Thames Fog — means Shark Fin will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 7.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Shark Fin vs Thames Fog in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Shark Fin and Thames Fog are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Shark Fin reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
