Spa Day vs Whispering Spring
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Whispering Spring (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Spa Day (LRV 33), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 33.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
