North Pole Blue vs Jacaranda
Where North Pole Blue belongs to Behr's range, Jacaranda is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Jacaranda (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than North Pole Blue (LRV 26), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. North Pole Blue runs blue while Jacaranda is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
