Blue Ground vs Wave
Blue Ground is a Farrow & Ball color while Wave comes from Tikkurila. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. With LRVs of 49 and 49, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 4.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
