Can I use Twilight Blue instead of Dark Sky?

Only where an exact match doesn’t matter, such as a new unit or a highlight. Fair match (ΔE 13). Twilight Blue is a little lighter, more muted, cooler than Dark Sky.

Can I use Dark Sky instead of Twilight Blue?

The same difference applies the other way round: Dark Sky is a little darker, more saturated, warmer.

ΔE is the colour difference between our two swatch estimates: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they thin, so test before you commit.
