Blueprint vs French Colony
Both from Behr's palette. Blueprint reads as blue, while French Colony reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. French Colony (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Blueprint (LRV 19), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 14.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
