Teal Ripple vs Teal Touch
Both from Dulux's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Teal Touch (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Teal Ripple (LRV 11), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 20.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
