Lavender Secret vs Naval
Where Lavender Secret belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Naval is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Lavender Secret (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Naval (LRV 4), a difference of 69 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lavender Secret runs blue while Naval is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.3, the contrast is hard to miss.
