Under the Big Top vs Abstract Idea
Under the Big Top is a Benjamin Moore color while Abstract Idea comes from Cloverdale Paint. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. With LRVs of 63 and 62, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 0.3, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
