Sea to Shining Sea vs Flyway
Where Sea to Shining Sea belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Flyway 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. Sea to Shining Sea (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Flyway (LRV 39), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sea to Shining Sea runs blue while Flyway is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
