Byte Blue vs Rest Assured
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Byte Blue belongs to the blue family and Rest Assured to the blue-red family. Byte Blue (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Rest Assured (LRV 49), a difference of 20 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 12.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
