Oilcloth vs Sea Haze
Oilcloth and Sea Haze come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 10-point LRV gap — 45 for Sea Haze vs 35 for Oilcloth — means Sea Haze will open up a space more effectively. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 7.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Oilcloth vs Sea Haze in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Oilcloth and Sea Haze are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Sea Haze reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Oilcloth.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Sea Haze returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Sea Haze returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Oilcloth vs Sea Haze Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Oilcloth on one side and Sea Haze on the other.
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.
