Del Mar Blue vs Moonshine
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Del Mar Blue reads as blue-green, while Moonshine reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Moonshine (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Del Mar Blue (LRV 38), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Del Mar Blue runs cool while Moonshine is decidedly green and yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
