G436 vs Dover Surf
G436 (Tikkurila) and Dover Surf (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 11-point LRV gap — 64 for G436 vs 53 for Dover Surf — means G436 will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 7.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
