In the Blue vs River Valley

In the BlueCloverdale PaintvsRiver ValleyDuluxΔE 2.6Subtle difference

In the Blue is a Cloverdale Paint color while River Valley comes from Dulux. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. With LRVs of 43 and 44, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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.
