Royal Navy vs Majestic Purple
Royal Navy (Little Greene) and Majestic Purple (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Royal Navy reads as blue, while Majestic Purple reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 5 vs 5 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Royal Navy leans blue, Majestic Purple reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 12.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
