Maritime White vs Merino
Maritime White is a Benjamin Moore color while Merino comes from Tikkurila. Maritime White reads as beige-white, while Merino reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 74 vs 72, Merino will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 1.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
