Dark Royal Blue vs White Heron
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Dark Royal Blue reads as blue, while White Heron reads as white-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 87 vs 9, White Heron will read as the brighter of the two — a 77-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Dark Royal Blue's blue character against White Heron's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 75.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
