Antique Glass vs Ancona Blue
Where Antique Glass belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ancona Blue is a Farrow & Ball color. Antique Glass reads as green, while Ancona Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antique Glass (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Ancona Blue (LRV 48), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Antique Glass runs green while Ancona Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
