Gulf Stream vs Oceanic Teal

Gulf Stream and Oceanic Teal come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 11-point LRV gap — 50 for Oceanic Teal vs 39 for Gulf Stream — means Oceanic Teal will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 8.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
