Oceanfront vs Paper Mache

OceanfrontBenjamin MoorevsPaper MacheBenjamin MooreΔE 19.8 — Distinct difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Oceanfront belongs to the blue family and Paper Mache to the beige-yellow family. Paper Mache (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Oceanfront (LRV 67), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Oceanfront runs green and blue while Paper Mache is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.8, 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.
