Queen of Sheba vs Plum Shade
Where Queen of Sheba belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Plum Shade is a PPG color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Queen of Sheba (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Plum Shade (LRV 18), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
