Luxe vs Sharkskin

Luxe and Sharkskin come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Luxe reads as blue-grey, while Sharkskin reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 22 for Luxe vs 16 for Sharkskin — means Luxe will open up a space more effectively. Where Luxe leans blue, Sharkskin reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 21.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
