Gulfstream vs Thermal Spring

Gulfstream and Thermal Spring come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 21 for Thermal Spring vs 18 for Gulfstream — means Thermal Spring will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 11.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
