American Anthem vs Sporty Blue
Where American Anthem belongs to PPG's range, Sporty Blue is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. American Anthem (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Sporty Blue (LRV 24), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
