Brilliant Blue vs Blue Chip
Where Brilliant Blue belongs to Behr's range, Blue Chip is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (15 vs 13), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Brilliant Blue runs blue while Blue Chip is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
