Aquarius vs White Diamond

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aquarius reads as blue, while White Diamond reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Diamond (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Aquarius (LRV 47), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aquarius runs blue while White Diamond is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 34.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
