California Breeze vs Blue Bauble
Where California Breeze belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Blue Bauble 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 Bauble (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than California Breeze (LRV 63), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. California Breeze runs blue while Blue Bauble is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
