Blue Cruise vs Palisade

Blue Cruise and Palisade come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Blue Cruise belongs to the blue family and Palisade to the greige-grey family. The 9-point LRV gap — 35 for Palisade vs 26 for Blue Cruise — means Palisade will open up a space more effectively.
