Denim Wash vs North Sea
Denim Wash is a Benjamin Moore color while North Sea comes from Cloverdale Paint. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. With LRVs of 35 and 34, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
