Adriatic Sea vs Nantucket Gray
Adriatic Sea and Nantucket Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Adriatic Sea reads as blue, while Nantucket Gray reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 32-point LRV gap — 40 for Nantucket Gray vs 8 for Adriatic Sea — means Nantucket Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Adriatic Sea leans blue, Nantucket Gray reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.
