Fossil vs Seapearl
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Seapearl (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Fossil (LRV 72), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fossil runs red while Seapearl is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Fossil vs Seapearl in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Fossil and Seapearl 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Seapearl gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Seapearl reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Fossil vs Seapearl Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fossil on one side and Seapearl on the other.
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.
