Gustavian Blue vs Boudoir Blue
Gustavian Blue (Jotun) and Boudoir Blue (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Gustavian Blue reads as blue-grey, while Boudoir Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 38 vs 37 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 22.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
