H2O vs Blue Bows
H2O (Benjamin Moore) and Blue Bows (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 3-point LRV gap — 53 for Blue Bows vs 50 for H2O — means Blue Bows will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.8 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

H2O vs Blue Bows Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see H2O on one side and Blue Bows 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.
