Himalaya Sky vs Alaskan Blue

Himalaya SkyCloverdale PaintvsAlaskan BluePPGΔE 1.9Subtle difference

Himalaya Sky (Cloverdale Paint) and Alaskan Blue (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 34 for Alaskan Blue vs 31 for Himalaya Sky — means Alaskan Blue will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.9 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
