Shadow Blue vs Early Morning
Where Shadow Blue belongs to Behr's range, Early Morning is a Benjamin Moore color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (44 vs 43), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Shadow Blue runs blue while Early Morning is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
