French Colony vs Jean Jacket Blue
Both from Behr's palette. French Colony reads as blue-grey, while Jean Jacket Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. French Colony (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Jean Jacket Blue (LRV 26), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
