Blue Jacket vs Blue Beads
Where Blue Jacket belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Blue Beads is a PPG color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Blue Beads (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Jacket (LRV 18), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
