Heavenly Blue vs Rhine River
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Heavenly Blue reads as blue, while Rhine River reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Heavenly Blue (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Rhine River (LRV 47), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Heavenly Blue runs green while Rhine River is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render.
