Dresden Dream vs Naval
Dresden Dream (PPG) and Naval (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 34-point LRV gap — 38 for Dresden Dream vs 4 for Naval — means Dresden Dream will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 42.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
