Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Springtime belongs to the beige-yellow family and Wishful Blue to the blue family. At LRV 77 vs 72, Springtime will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Springtime's warm character against Wishful Blue's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 30.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
