Vardo vs Acapulco Cliffs
Vardo (Farrow & Ball) and Acapulco Cliffs (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 13-point LRV gap — 28 for Acapulco Cliffs vs 15 for Vardo — means Acapulco Cliffs will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 11.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
