Periwinkle vs Blue Hyacinth
Periwinkle is a Behr color while Blue Hyacinth comes from PPG. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 35 vs 31, Periwinkle will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
