Smalt vs Morning Glory
Smalt is a Little Greene color while Morning Glory comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. With LRVs of 6 and 8, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Smalt's blue character against Morning Glory's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 4.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
