Lavender Blue vs North Cascades
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Lavender Blue belongs to the blue family and North Cascades to the blue-grey family. North Cascades (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Lavender Blue (LRV 49), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lavender Blue runs blue while North Cascades is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
