Ewing Blue vs Peppermint Candy
Ewing Blue is a Benjamin Moore color while Peppermint Candy comes from Dulux. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. With LRVs of 73 and 72, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Ewing Blue's green and blue character against Peppermint Candy's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.1, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
