Blue Hyacinth vs Oatmeal

Blue Hyacinth and Oatmeal come from the same PPG collection. Blue Hyacinth reads as blue, while Oatmeal reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 45-point LRV gap — 76 for Oatmeal vs 31 for Blue Hyacinth — means Oatmeal will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 44.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
