Oystershell vs White Heron

OystershellBenjamin MoorevsWhite HeronBenjamin MooreΔE 9.1Noticeable difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Oystershell belongs to the green-grey family and White Heron to the white-yellow family. White Heron (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Oystershell (LRV 68), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Oystershell runs neutral while White Heron is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
