In the Navy vs Ink
In the Navy (Sherwin-Williams) and Ink (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. 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 — 6 for Ink vs 4 for In the Navy — means Ink will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 10.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
