Blue Iris vs Clean Slate
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Blue Iris reads as blue-grey, while Clean Slate reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 76 vs 73, Clean Slate will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a neutral quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 2.3, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

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.
