Byte Blue vs Daring
Byte Blue and Daring come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Byte Blue reads as blue, while Daring reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 43-point LRV gap — 68 for Byte Blue vs 25 for Daring — means Byte Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Byte Blue leans cool, Daring reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 72.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
