Montpelier vs Oceanfront

Montpelier and Oceanfront come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Montpelier reads as blue-grey, while Oceanfront reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 45-point LRV gap — 67 for Oceanfront vs 22 for Montpelier — means Oceanfront will open up a space more effectively. Where Montpelier leans blue, Oceanfront reads green and blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 36.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
