Simply Posh vs Harbor Sky

Simply PoshBehrvsHarbor SkyPPGΔE 3.7Noticeable difference

Where Simply Posh belongs to Behr's range, Harbor Sky is a PPG 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 (43 vs 44), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
