Blue Ground vs Misty Aqua
Where Blue Ground belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Misty Aqua is a PPG color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Misty Aqua (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Ground (LRV 49), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
