Bellflower Blue vs Water Iris
Where Bellflower Blue belongs to Behr's range, Water Iris is a PPG color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Bellflower Blue (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Water Iris (LRV 77), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
