Indigo Night by Dulux is the closest match from any other brand (very close) — and it holds Blue Maize’s lightness, warmth and saturation alike.

No other brand gets within a near-identical match of Blue Maize — it’s one of the more distinctive colours in the library, so expect a visible difference whichever you pick.
