Watercolor Blue vs Hazy
Where Watercolor Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Hazy is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Watercolor Blue (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Hazy (LRV 51), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Watercolor Blue runs blue while Hazy is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
