Old Blue Jeans vs Scanda
Old Blue Jeans (Benjamin Moore) and Scanda (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. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 25 vs 25 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Old Blue Jeans leans blue, Scanda reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.1 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.
