Which should you pick
Rules of thumb computed from the LRV and Lab values in the table above; no room test was done.
- Pick Indigo Batik (SW 7602) for a small room or a north-facing room, because it is 4 LRV points lighter (8 vs 4), so it bounces back more of the limited light
- Pick Indigo Batik (SW 7602) for a south-facing room, because its Lab b* is -13.3 against -11.0, so it is the cooler of the two and offsets warm direct sun
- Pick Naval (SW 6244) to warm a north-facing room, because it is the warmer of the two (Lab b* -11.0), which counters cool indirect light
