Misty Isle vs Soft Mint
Both from Behr's palette. Both sit in the blue-green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Soft Mint (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Misty Isle (LRV 70), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
