Wine Dark vs Forget-Me-Not
Wine Dark (Farrow & Ball) and Forget-Me-Not (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Wine Dark reads as blue-grey, while Forget-Me-Not reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 16 for Forget-Me-Not vs 13 for Wine Dark — means Forget-Me-Not will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 19.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
