Mazarine vs Naval

MazarineLittle GreenevsNavalSherwin-WilliamsΔE 20.5Distinct difference

Mazarine (Little Greene) and Naval (Sherwin-Williams) 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 — 8 for Mazarine vs 4 for Naval — means Mazarine will open up a space more effectively. Where Mazarine leans blue, Naval reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 20.5 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.
