Opal vs Palm Coast Teal
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Opal reads as beige, while Palm Coast Teal reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Opal (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Palm Coast Teal (LRV 33), a difference of 51 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Opal runs warm while Palm Coast Teal is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 47.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
