Selvedge vs Warm Blue

SelvedgeFarrow & BallvsWarm BlueJotunΔE 6.0Noticeable difference

Selvedge (Farrow & Ball) and Warm Blue (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 30 for Warm Blue vs 25 for Selvedge — means Warm Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Selvedge leans cool, Warm Blue reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 6.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
