Del Mar Blue vs Celestial Blue
Where Del Mar Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Celestial Blue is a Little Greene color. These are both blue-greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-green to land. Celestial Blue (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Del Mar Blue (LRV 38), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Del Mar Blue runs cool while Celestial Blue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
