Limestone vs Soulful Blue
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Limestone reads as grey, while Soulful Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 20 vs 13, Soulful Blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Limestone's neutral character against Soulful Blue's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 20.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
