Caribbean Mist vs Soar
Where Caribbean Mist belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Soar 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. Caribbean Mist (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Soar (LRV 70), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Caribbean Mist runs blue while Soar is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
