Vermont Slate vs Industrial Blue
Where Vermont Slate belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Industrial Blue is a Jotun color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (13 vs 11), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Vermont Slate runs blue while Industrial Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources.
