Notable Hue vs Sockeye

Notable Hue and Sockeye come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Notable Hue reads as blue, while Sockeye reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 40 for Sockeye vs 37 for Notable Hue — means Sockeye will open up a space more effectively. Where Notable Hue leans cool, Sockeye reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 48.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
