Calico Blue vs Vintage Vogue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Calico Blue belongs to the blue-green family and Vintage Vogue to the green-grey family. Vintage Vogue (LRV 12) reflects noticeably more light than Calico Blue (LRV 9), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
