Soft Sky vs Dover Surf
Soft Sky (Benjamin Moore) and Dover Surf (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 13-point LRV gap — 66 for Soft Sky vs 53 for Dover Surf — means Soft Sky will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
