Deep Ocean vs Pale Sea Mist
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Deep Ocean reads as blue, while Pale Sea Mist reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pale Sea Mist (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Ocean (LRV 14), a difference of 53 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Deep Ocean runs blue while Pale Sea Mist is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 64.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
