Aria vs Dusty Aqua

Both from PPG's palette. Aria reads as white, while Dusty Aqua reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Aria (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Dusty Aqua (LRV 41), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 20.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
