Woad vs Distant blue
Where Woad belongs to Little Greene's range, Distant blue is a RAL Classic color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Distant blue (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Woad (LRV 12), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
