Soft Mint vs Svalbard Sea
Soft Mint (Benjamin Moore) and Svalbard Sea (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 74 for Soft Mint vs 69 for Svalbard Sea — means Soft Mint will open up a space more effectively. Where Soft Mint leans green and blue, Svalbard Sea reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 9.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
