One match per brand, ranked by ΔE — a perceptual color difference score calculated from Lab color space values. Lower is closer. Click any card to compare side by side in simulated rooms.


At LRV NaN vs NaN, Blue Hill is decisively the brighter choice. A ΔE of 1.4 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.



With LRVs of 8 and 7, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.



With LRVs of 8 and 7, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.


Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 8 vs 8), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.



A 3-point LRV gap (8 vs 4) makes Dark Harbor the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.



Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 8 vs 7), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 6.2 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.



With LRVs of 8 and 5, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 7.3 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.



With LRVs of 9 and 8, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 7.5 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.



With LRVs of 8 and 6, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 7.9 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.



With LRVs of 8 and 7, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 8.8 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.



With LRVs of 8 and 5, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 8.8 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.


With LRVs of 9 and 8, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 11.7 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.



With LRVs of 8 and 8, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 13.3 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.



Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 8 vs 8), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 13.6 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
