White Iris vs Wishful Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, White Iris belongs to the blue-white family and Wishful Blue to the blue family. White Iris (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Wishful Blue (LRV 72), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
