Royal Navy vs Ink

Royal NavyLittle GreenevsInkTikkurilaΔE 10.1Distinct difference

Royal Navy is a Little Greene color while Ink comes from Tikkurila. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 5 and 6, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 10.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
