Buxton Blue vs Hemlock

Buxton Blue and Hemlock come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 16-point LRV gap — 45 for Buxton Blue vs 29 for Hemlock — means Buxton Blue will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 13.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
