Blue Chip vs Cardboard
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Blue Chip reads as blue, while Cardboard reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 22 vs 13, Cardboard will read as the brighter of the two — a 8-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Blue Chip's cool character against Cardboard's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 64.6, 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.

Blue Chip vs Cardboard Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Blue Chip on one side and Cardboard 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.
