Bluesy Note vs Perfect Periwinkle
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Bluesy Note (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Perfect Periwinkle (LRV 23), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
