Capri Seas vs Arsenic
Capri Seas (Benjamin Moore) and Arsenic (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Capri Seas reads as blue, while Arsenic reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 5-point LRV gap — 42 for Capri Seas vs 37 for Arsenic — means Capri Seas will open up a space more effectively. Where Capri Seas leans green and blue, Arsenic reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 16.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
