Explorer Blue vs High Dive
Explorer Blue (Behr) and High Dive (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 16-point LRV gap — 43 for High Dive vs 27 for Explorer Blue — means High Dive will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 8.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
