Dusky Blue vs Mint Macaroon
Where Dusky Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mint Macaroon is a Dulux color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Mint Macaroon (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Dusky Blue (LRV 61), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dusky Blue runs blue while Mint Macaroon is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
