Mohair vs Naval
Where Mohair belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Naval is a Sherwin-Williams color. Mohair reads as beige, while Naval reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mohair (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Naval (LRV 4), a difference of 63 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mohair runs red while Naval is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 66.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
