Blue Marguerite vs Ocean Spray
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. Ocean Spray (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Marguerite (LRV 47), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Marguerite runs blue while Ocean Spray is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
