Blue Verditer vs Resolute Blue
Where Blue Verditer belongs to Little Greene's range, Resolute Blue is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Resolute Blue (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Verditer (LRV 29), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Verditer runs blue while Resolute Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
