Aegean Teal vs Rustique
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aegean Teal reads as blue-grey, while Rustique reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Aegean Teal (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Rustique (LRV 10), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aegean Teal runs blue while Rustique is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
