LuxeBenjamin MoorevsSeashellBenjamin MooreΔE 45.2 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Luxe belongs to the blue-grey family and Seashell to the beige-yellow family. Seashell (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Luxe (LRV 22), a difference of 58 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Luxe runs blue while Seashell is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.2, 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.
