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.
