Sunflower FieldsBenjamin MoorevsTidal WaveBenjamin MooreΔE 84.8 — Very different colors

Sunflower Fields and Tidal Wave come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Sunflower Fields reads as beige, while Tidal Wave reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 5-point LRV gap — 49 for Sunflower Fields vs 44 for Tidal Wave — means Sunflower Fields will open up a space more effectively. Where Sunflower Fields leans red, Tidal Wave reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 84.8 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.

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.
