Jamaican Aqua vs Peppermint Rock
Where Jamaican Aqua belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Peppermint Rock is a Dulux color. Jamaican Aqua reads as blue, while Peppermint Rock reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Peppermint Rock (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Jamaican Aqua (LRV 71), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jamaican Aqua runs blue while Peppermint Rock is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Jamaican Aqua vs Peppermint Rock in Real Spaces

Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Peppermint Rock gives the walls a little more lift.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Peppermint Rock reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
