Steel Symphony 3 vs Steel Symphony 5
Both from Dulux's palette. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Steel Symphony 5 (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Steel Symphony 3 (LRV 35), a difference of 28 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. With a ΔE of 19.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
