Deep Royal vs Starfish
Deep Royal and Starfish come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Deep Royal belongs to the blue family and Starfish to the beige family. The 35-point LRV gap — 41 for Starfish vs 5 for Deep Royal — means Starfish will open up a space more effectively. Where Deep Royal leans blue, Starfish reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 67.4 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.
