Dreamy vs Icing on the Cake
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. Icing on the Cake (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Dreamy (LRV 37), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dreamy runs blue while Icing on the Cake is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
