Horizon Gray vs Marine Aqua
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Horizon Gray belongs to the greige-grey family and Marine Aqua to the blue family. Horizon Gray (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Marine Aqua (LRV 10), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Horizon Gray runs yellow while Marine Aqua is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
