Nocturne Shade vs Naval
Nocturne Shade (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 13-point LRV gap — 17 for Nocturne Shade vs 4 for Naval — means Nocturne Shade will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 34.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
