Dolphin vs Sonnet

Dolphin and Sonnet come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Dolphin belongs to the grey family and Sonnet to the beige-greige family. The 47-point LRV gap — 70 for Sonnet vs 24 for Dolphin — means Sonnet will open up a space more effectively. Where Dolphin leans yellow, Sonnet reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 33.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
