Aqua Marina vs Lightning Bug

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aqua Marina reads as blue, while Lightning Bug reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lightning Bug (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Aqua Marina (LRV 43), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aqua Marina runs blue while Lightning Bug is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 80.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
