Clear Aqua vs Island Oasis

Both from Behr's palette. Clear Aqua reads as blue-green, while Island Oasis reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Clear Aqua (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Island Oasis (LRV 50), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Clear Aqua runs green while Island Oasis is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
