Cotton Breeze vs Water Iris
Where Cotton Breeze belongs to Dulux's range, Water Iris is a PPG color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Cotton Breeze (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Water Iris (LRV 77), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
