Byte Blue vs Soar
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 68 and 70, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a cool quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 3.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Byte Blue vs Soar Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Byte Blue on one side and Soar 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.
