Major Blue vs Venus Pink

Major BlueSherwin-WilliamsvsVenus PinkSherwin-WilliamsΔE 48.6Very different colors

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Major Blue reads as blue, while Venus Pink reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 80 vs 29, Venus Pink will read as the brighter of the two — a 51-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Major Blue's cool character against Venus Pink's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 48.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
