Sea Star vs Denim Drift
Where Sea Star belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Denim Drift is a Dulux color. Both sit in the blue-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Sea Star (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Denim Drift (LRV 27), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sea Star runs blue while Denim Drift is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Sea Star vs Denim Drift in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Sea Star and Denim Drift 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.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Sea Star reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
