Faded Sky vs Classic Blue
Faded Sky (Dulux) and Classic Blue (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 3-point LRV gap — 55 for Faded Sky vs 52 for Classic Blue — means Faded Sky will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 4.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
