Splash vs Naval
Splash is a Benjamin Moore color while Naval comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 66 vs 4, Splash will read as the brighter of the two — a 62-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Splash's blue character against Naval's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 60.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
