Sea Mariner vs Tea Leaf
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Sea Mariner reads as blue-grey, while Tea Leaf reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 9 vs 7, Tea Leaf will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Sea Mariner's cool character against Tea Leaf's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 18.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
