Scuba Green vs Dix Blue
Scuba Green (Benjamin Moore) and Dix Blue (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Scuba Green belongs to the blue-green family and Dix Blue to the blue-grey family. The 20-point LRV gap — 61 for Scuba Green vs 41 for Dix Blue — means Scuba Green will open up a space more effectively. Where Scuba Green leans green and blue, Dix Blue reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 24.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Scuba Green on one side and Dix Blue 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.
