Blue Pearl vs May Mist
Blue Pearl is a Benjamin Moore color while May Mist comes from Cloverdale Paint. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. With LRVs of 36 and 37, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 4.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
