Yarmouth Blue vs J491
Where Yarmouth Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, J491 is a Tikkurila color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Yarmouth Blue (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than J491 (LRV 52), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
