Old Pickup Blue vs Soft Blue
Where Old Pickup Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Soft Blue is a Cloverdale Paint color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Old Pickup Blue (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Soft Blue (LRV 59), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
