Sailor's Knot vs Clover

Sailor's KnotBehrvsCloverSherwin-WilliamsΔE NaNVery different colors

Sailor's Knot is a Behr color while Clover comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV NaN vs 40, Clover will read as the brighter of the two — a NaN-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Sailor's Knot's blue character against Clover's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE NaN, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
