Blue Hyacinth vs Mystic Iris
Both from PPG's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Mystic Iris (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Hyacinth (LRV 31), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
