Ocean Floor vs Thunder
Ocean Floor and Thunder come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Ocean Floor belongs to the blue-grey family and Thunder to the greige-grey family. The 33-point LRV gap — 48 for Thunder vs 14 for Ocean Floor — means Thunder will open up a space more effectively. Where Ocean Floor leans blue, Thunder reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 33.8 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.
