Cumulus Cotton vs Fairview Blue
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. Cumulus Cotton (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Fairview Blue (LRV 62), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
