Ocean Ripple vs Crystal Clear
Where Ocean Ripple belongs to Dulux's range, Crystal Clear is a Sherwin-Williams color. Ocean Ripple reads as blue, while Crystal Clear reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ocean Ripple (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Crystal Clear (LRV 81), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
