Admiral Blue vs Thunder
Admiral Blue and Thunder come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Admiral Blue reads as blue, while Thunder reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 42-point LRV gap — 48 for Thunder vs 6 for Admiral Blue — means Thunder will open up a space more effectively. Where Admiral Blue leans blue, Thunder reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 61.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
