Alladin vs Honest Blue
Where Alladin belongs to Jotun's range, Honest 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. Alladin (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Honest Blue (LRV 55), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Alladin vs Honest Blue in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Alladin and Honest Blue are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Alladin reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Alladin reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Alladin has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Alladin vs Honest Blue Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Alladin on one side and Honest Blue on the other.
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.
