Shadow BlueBehrvsTea with FlorenceLittle GreeneΔE 24.2Distinct difference

The 26-point LRV gap — 44 for Shadow Blue vs 18 for Tea with Florence — means Shadow Blue will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
