Lobelia vs Original White

Lobelia and Original White come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Lobelia reads as blue, while Original White reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 44-point LRV gap — 74 for Original White vs 30 for Lobelia — means Original White will open up a space more effectively. Where Lobelia leans cool, Original White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 37.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
