Tropical Splash vs Naval
Tropical Splash (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 48-point LRV gap — 52 for Tropical Splash vs 4 for Naval — means Tropical Splash will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 57.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
