Monet Magic vs Misty Aqua
Monet Magic (Cloverdale Paint) and Misty Aqua (PPG) 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 4-point LRV gap — 70 for Misty Aqua vs 66 for Monet Magic — means Misty Aqua will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
