Lafayette Blue vs Nordic Sky
Where Lafayette Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Nordic Sky is a Dulux color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Nordic Sky (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Lafayette Blue (LRV 37), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lafayette Blue runs blue while Nordic Sky is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
