Blue Beard vs Classic Blue
Where Blue Beard belongs to PPG's range, Classic Blue is a Jotun color. Classic Blue (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Beard (LRV 46), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
Blue Beard vs Classic Blue Color Comparison
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.
