Frosted Lake vs Blue Opal
Where Frosted Lake belongs to Dulux's range, Blue Opal is a PPG color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (55 vs 56), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
