Southern Belle vs Morning Glory
Where Southern Belle belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Morning Glory is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Southern Belle (LRV 12) reflects noticeably more light than Morning Glory (LRV 8), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Southern Belle runs blue while Morning Glory is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
