Tidal Wave vs Nordic Sky
Tidal Wave (Benjamin Moore) and Nordic Sky (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 44 for Tidal Wave vs 40 for Nordic Sky — means Tidal Wave will open up a space more effectively. Where Tidal Wave leans blue, Nordic Sky reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 7.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
