Marine Aqua vs White Heron
Marine Aqua and White Heron come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Marine Aqua reads as blue, while White Heron reads as white-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 77-point LRV gap — 87 for White Heron vs 10 for Marine Aqua — means White Heron will open up a space more effectively. Where Marine Aqua leans blue, White Heron reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 65.2 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.
