Dusky Blue vs G436
Where Dusky Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, G436 is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. G436 (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Dusky Blue (LRV 61), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Dusky Blue on one side and G436 on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
