Capri SeasBenjamin MoorevsEbony SlateBenjamin MooreΔE 54.0Very different colors

Capri Seas and Ebony Slate come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Capri Seas belongs to the blue family and Ebony Slate to the blue-grey family. The 33-point LRV gap — 42 for Capri Seas vs 9 for Ebony Slate — means Capri Seas will open up a space more effectively. Where Capri Seas leans green and blue, Ebony Slate reads blue and purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 54.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
