Naval vs K488
Naval (Sherwin-Williams) and K488 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Naval belongs to the blue family and K488 to the grey family. The 30-point LRV gap — 34 for K488 vs 4 for Naval — means K488 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 40.9 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.
