Blue Bayou vs Palatial Skies

Blue Bayou and Palatial Skies come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 55 for Palatial Skies vs 47 for Blue Bayou — means Palatial Skies will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 6.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
