Thundercloud vs Stratford Blue
Where Thundercloud belongs to Behr's range, Stratford Blue is a Benjamin Moore color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Stratford Blue (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Thundercloud (LRV 23), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
