Venetian Crystal 2 vs Jay Blue

Venetian Crystal 2DuluxvsJay BlueSherwin-WilliamsΔE 6.0Noticeable difference

Where Venetian Crystal 2 belongs to Dulux's range, Jay Blue is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (9 vs 9), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
