Poolside Blue vs Sea of Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Poolside Blue belongs to the blue family and Sea of Green to the blue-green family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (40 vs 37), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Poolside Blue runs blue while Sea of Green is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
