Default Luxo Blue VS Bridgehampton Blue

Ok so I know it all depends on the lighting so I am having a tough time with these colors. Does anyone know the difference between the two colors. Some of the pictures I see the Luxo looks darker than the Bridgehampton and in others in does not. Sometimes the Bridgehampton looks a little brighter and sometimes it does not.

I have to call my painter today and let him know which color I want and I need some guidance on the differences.

Thanks

Thank You, yes he did but those chips are so small and it is hard to tell in different lighting. I had originally picked a different darker blue and then doing some research I found it had a purple hue in certain lighting and I don't do purple...

dar322...

That's nice. Now, what color is it?

From the photo, your color appears to be a 'blend' of Bridgehampton Blue and Targa Blue ('72). I think it has the slightly green hue that is in Bridgehampton, but it's also just a bit darker.
