Hydrangea vs Warm Blue
Where Hydrangea belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Warm Blue is a Jotun color. Hydrangea reads as purple, while Warm Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hydrangea (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Warm Blue (LRV 30), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hydrangea runs purple while Warm Blue is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
