First Crush vs Maritime White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. First Crush reads as beige, while Maritime White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (72 vs 72), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. First Crush runs red while Maritime White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished 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.
