Blue Ice vs Riviera Azure

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 Ice (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Riviera Azure (LRV 45), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 10.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
