Lucky Shamrock vs Vardo
Where Lucky Shamrock belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Vardo is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Lucky Shamrock (LRV 18) reflects noticeably more light than Vardo (LRV 15), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lucky Shamrock runs green while Vardo is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
