Blue Iris vs Original White

Blue Iris and Original White come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Blue Iris belongs to the blue-grey family and Original White to the greige-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 73 vs 74 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Blue Iris leans neutral, Original White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 3.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
