Coastline vs Dolphin
Coastline and Dolphin come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Coastline reads as blue-grey, while Dolphin reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 34 for Coastline vs 24 for Dolphin — means Coastline will open up a space more effectively. Where Coastline leans blue, Dolphin reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 14.3 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.
