Blue Lake vs Pastel turquoise
Where Blue Lake belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pastel turquoise is a RAL Classic color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Pastel turquoise (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Lake (LRV 30), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 10.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
