Perfect Periwinkle vs Scanda
Perfect Periwinkle and Scanda come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 23 vs 25 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 7.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
