Blue Toile vs Lakeshore
Where Blue Toile belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Lakeshore is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Blue Toile (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Lakeshore (LRV 27), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Toile runs blue while Lakeshore is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
