Blue Iris vs White Iris
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Blue Iris reads as blue-grey, while White Iris reads as blue-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 76 vs 73, White Iris will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Blue Iris's neutral character against White Iris's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.1, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Blue Iris on one side and White Iris 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.
