Ewing Blue vs Svalbard Sea
Where Ewing Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Svalbard Sea is a Jotun color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Ewing Blue (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Svalbard Sea (LRV 69), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ewing Blue runs green and blue while Svalbard Sea is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Ewing Blue vs Svalbard Sea in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Ewing Blue and Svalbard Sea are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room

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.
