Turquoise blue vs Surfer
Turquoise blue is a RAL Classic color while Surfer comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 29 vs 23, Surfer will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 9.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
