Ocean Abyss vs English Ivy
Where Ocean Abyss belongs to Behr's range, English Ivy 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. English Ivy (LRV NaN) reflects noticeably more light than Ocean Abyss (LRV 7), a difference of NaN points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ocean Abyss runs blue while English Ivy is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of NaN, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
