Storm Cloud vs Surf
Storm Cloud is a Sherwin-Williams color while Surf comes from Tikkurila. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. At LRV 23 vs 20, Storm Cloud will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
