Surf 'n Turf vs Water Drops
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blue-greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-green to land. Water Drops (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Surf 'n Turf (LRV 65), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
