Blue Lagoon vs Vardo
Where Blue Lagoon belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Vardo is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Blue Lagoon (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Vardo (LRV 15), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Lagoon runs blue while Vardo is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
