Hazy vs J438
Where Hazy belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, J438 is a Tikkurila color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Hazy (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than J438 (LRV 45), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
