Blue Allure vs Teardrop Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Blue Allure (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Teardrop Blue (LRV 66), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Allure runs blue while Teardrop Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
