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.
