Inked vs Blueprint
Inked is a Behr color while Blueprint comes from Cloverdale Paint. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. With LRVs of 8 and 9, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 4.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Inked vs Blueprint in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Inked and Blueprint are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Inked vs Blueprint Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Inked on one side and Blueprint on the other.
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.
