Cay vs Jetstream
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. With LRVs of 58 and 60, 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. With a ΔE of 2.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Cay vs Jetstream Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cay on one side and Jetstream 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.
