Maritime Blue vs Naval
Maritime Blue is a Benjamin Moore color while Naval comes from Sherwin-Williams. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 65 vs 4, Maritime Blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 61-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Maritime Blue's green and blue character against Naval's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 62.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
