The difference
Read from the numbersLittle Falls is the lighter of the two at LRV 41.07, 17.1 points above Georgian Revival Blue at LRV 24. Both read cool. Both belong to the blue family. For a whole room, Little Falls is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Georgian Revival Blue is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsGeorgian Revival Blue SW 7609 is a mid-tone blue from Sherwin-Williams' Timeless Colors collection, rated for interior and exterior use. Sherwin-Williams gives an LRV of 24, so it is a true colour that holds its own rather than a pale wash.
Little Falls is a mid-tone, grey-softened blue with the ease of well-worn denim. At LRV 41 it holds its color in daylight without ever becoming bright, and its grey base keeps it from reading as nursery blue. It is calm without being cold.
