New Born's Eyes vs Slate Blue

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. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (41 vs 43), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. New Born's Eyes runs cool while Slate Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
