In the Tropics vs Palm Coast Teal
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. Palm Coast Teal (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than In the Tropics (LRV 28), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
