Job's Tears is a Cloverdale Paint color while Cruising comes from Sherwin-Williams. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction.

At ΔE 10.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
