Sky Blue vs Mariner
Sky Blue (Little Greene) and Mariner (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 16-point LRV gap — 61 for Sky Blue vs 46 for Mariner — means Sky Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Sky Blue leans blue, Mariner reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 17.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
