Briny vs Gentle Aquamarine
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Gentle Aquamarine (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Briny (LRV 17), a difference of 37 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 31.6, the contrast is hard to miss.
