Azure Water vs Antique White
Where Azure Water belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Antique White is a Jotun color. Azure Water reads as blue, while Antique White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antique White (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Azure Water (LRV 29), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Azure Water runs blue while Antique White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
