Aplomb vs Green Wave
Aplomb and Green Wave come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Aplomb reads as grey, while Green Wave reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 45-point LRV gap — 65 for Green Wave vs 21 for Aplomb — means Green Wave will open up a space more effectively. Where Aplomb leans red, Green Wave reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 42.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Aplomb vs Green Wave Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Aplomb on one side and Green Wave on the other.
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.
