Electric Blue vs Blue Chip
Electric Blue (PPG) and Blue Chip (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 9-point LRV gap — 22 for Electric Blue vs 13 for Blue Chip — means Electric Blue will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 10.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Electric Blue vs Blue Chip Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Electric Blue on one side and Blue Chip on the other.
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.
