Chiswell Blue vs Green Tea

Chiswell Blue and Green Tea come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Chiswell Blue reads as blue-grey, while Green Tea reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 30 vs 28 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Chiswell Blue leans blue, Green Tea reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 31.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
