Antiquity vs Sea Mariner
Antiquity and Sea Mariner come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Antiquity reads as beige, while Sea Mariner reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 32-point LRV gap — 39 for Antiquity vs 7 for Sea Mariner — means Antiquity will open up a space more effectively. Where Antiquity leans warm, Sea Mariner reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 58.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
