Scandinavian Blue vs Antique White
Where Scandinavian Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Antique White is a Jotun color. Scandinavian Blue reads as blue, while Antique White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antique White (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Scandinavian Blue (LRV 12), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Scandinavian Blue runs blue and purple while Antique White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 64.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
