Ewing Blue vs Spring Sky
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Ewing Blue (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Sky (LRV 63), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ewing Blue runs green and blue while Spring Sky is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
