Electric Blue vs L356
Electric Blue is a PPG color while L356 comes from Tikkurila. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 22 vs 12, Electric Blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 10.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Electric Blue on one side and L356 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.
