Distance vs Sea Mariner
Distance and Sea Mariner come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Distance belongs to the blue family and Sea Mariner to the blue-grey family. The 9-point LRV gap — 15 for Distance vs 7 for Sea Mariner — means Distance will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 15.5 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.

Distance vs Sea Mariner Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Distance on one side and Sea Mariner on the other.
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.
