Aquaverde vs Faraway Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Faraway Blue (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Aquaverde (LRV 49), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 19.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
