Placid Sea vs Jamaican Sea
Where Placid Sea belongs to Behr's range, Jamaican Sea is a PPG color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Jamaican Sea (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Placid Sea (LRV 23), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
