Sesame vs Naval
Sesame (Benjamin Moore) and Naval (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Sesame reads as beige-yellow, while Naval reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 59-point LRV gap — 63 for Sesame vs 4 for Naval — means Sesame will open up a space more effectively. Where Sesame leans warm, Naval reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 69.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
