Rhine River vs Dix Blue
Where Rhine River belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Dix Blue is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Rhine River (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Dix Blue (LRV 41), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Rhine River runs green and blue while Dix Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
