Bimini Blue vs Oatmeal

Oatmeal (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Bimini Blue (LRV 17), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 54.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
