Galactica vs Naval
Galactica (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 66-point LRV gap — 70 for Galactica vs 4 for Naval — means Galactica will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 61.9 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.

Galactica vs Naval Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Galactica on one side and Naval 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.
