Faded Sky vs Hazy
Where Faded Sky belongs to Dulux's range, Hazy is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Faded Sky (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Hazy (LRV 51), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
