Forget Me Not vs Swimming
Forget Me Not (Benjamin Moore) and Swimming (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 73 for Swimming vs 70 for Forget Me Not — means Swimming will open up a space more effectively. Where Forget Me Not leans blue, Swimming reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 0.7 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
