Dark Walnut vs Deep Sea

Dark WalnutBenjamin MoorevsDeep SeaBenjamin MooreΔE 37.9 — Very different colors

Dark Walnut and Deep Sea come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Dark Walnut reads as pink, while Deep Sea reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 5-point LRV gap — 15 for Deep Sea vs 10 for Dark Walnut — means Deep Sea will open up a space more effectively. Where Dark Walnut leans red, Deep Sea reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 37.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
