Bella Blue vs Blue Spruce

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Bella Blue reads as blue, while Blue Spruce reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (18 vs 17), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
