Sea Haze vs Exhale
Where Sea Haze belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Exhale is a Jotun color. Hue-wise, Sea Haze belongs to the grey family and Exhale to the green-grey family. Exhale (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Sea Haze (LRV 45), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sea Haze runs yellow while Exhale is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
