Eggshell vs Naval
Eggshell (Benjamin Moore) and Naval (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Eggshell reads as beige-yellow, while Naval reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 83-point LRV gap — 88 for Eggshell vs 4 for Naval — means Eggshell will open up a space more effectively. Where Eggshell leans yellow, Naval reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 75.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
