Distant Gray vs Ocean Breeze
Distant Gray and Ocean Breeze come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Distant Gray reads as green-grey, while Ocean Breeze reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 24-point LRV gap — 88 for Distant Gray vs 64 for Ocean Breeze — means Distant Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Distant Gray leans green, Ocean Breeze reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.6 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.
