H2O vs Antique White
H2O (Benjamin Moore) and Antique White (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. H2O reads as blue, while Antique White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 56 for Antique White vs 50 for H2O — means Antique White will open up a space more effectively. Where H2O leans cool, Antique White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 24.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
