Grand Canal vs Maxi Teal

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. Grand Canal (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Maxi Teal (LRV 13), a difference of 3 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. The ΔE 7.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
