Azores vs Del Mar Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Azores belongs to the green-grey family and Del Mar Blue to the blue-green family. Del Mar Blue (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Azores (LRV 34), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Azores runs green while Del Mar Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
