Salzburg BlueBenjamin MoorevsVintage VogueBenjamin MooreΔE 29.6Very different colors

Salzburg Blue runs blue while Vintage Vogue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.6, the contrast is hard to miss.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
