Lakeside vs Mild Blue
Lakeside and Mild Blue come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Lakeside reads as blue-grey, while Mild Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 19-point LRV gap — 65 for Mild Blue vs 47 for Lakeside — means Mild Blue 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 10.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
