Harbor Side Teal vs Kalamata
Harbor Side Teal and Kalamata come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Harbor Side Teal reads as blue, while Kalamata reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 57-point LRV gap — 68 for Harbor Side Teal vs 11 for Kalamata — means Harbor Side Teal will open up a space more effectively. Where Harbor Side Teal leans green and blue, Kalamata reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 62.0 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.
