Delicate Blue vs Gauze - Mid
Both from Little Greene's palette. Hue-wise, Delicate Blue belongs to the blue family and Gauze - Mid to the blue-white family. Delicate Blue (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Gauze - Mid (LRV 79), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
