Charybdis vs Resonant Blue
Where Charybdis belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Resonant Blue is a Sherwin-Williams 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 (32 vs 30), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 5.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
