Summer Nights vs Indigo Shade
Summer Nights (Benjamin Moore) and Indigo Shade (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 11 vs 9 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Summer Nights leans blue, Indigo Shade reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.2 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
