Aquarius vs Royal Regatta 6
Aquarius (Benjamin Moore) and Royal Regatta 6 (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 50 for Royal Regatta 6 vs 47 for Aquarius — means Royal Regatta 6 will open up a space more effectively. Where Aquarius leans blue, Royal Regatta 6 reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
