North Sea vs L356
North Sea (PPG) and L356 (Tikkurila) 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 6-point LRV gap — 18 for North Sea vs 12 for L356 — means North Sea will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

North Sea vs L356 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see North Sea 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.
