At LRV 19 vs 16, Neptune Seas will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Western Juniper vs Neptune Seas in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Western Juniper and Neptune Seas 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.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Neptune Seas has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Neptune Seas reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
