Basin Blue vs Misty Aqua
Basin Blue is a Behr color while Misty Aqua comes from PPG. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 70 vs 65, Misty Aqua will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
