Hemlock vs Sea Urchin 2
Hemlock (Benjamin Moore) and Sea Urchin 2 (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Hemlock reads as blue, while Sea Urchin 2 reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 29 vs 28 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Hemlock leans blue, Sea Urchin 2 reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 3.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Hemlock vs Sea Urchin 2 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Hemlock on one side and Sea Urchin 2 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.
