Hinting Blue vs Mauve Tinge

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Hinting Blue belongs to the blue family and Mauve Tinge to the white family. Mauve Tinge (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Hinting Blue (LRV 68), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hinting Blue runs cool while Mauve Tinge is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
