Spa vs Dover Surf
Spa is a Sherwin-Williams color while Dover Surf comes from Valspar. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 64 vs 53, Spa will read as the brighter of the two — a 11-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 12.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
