Maxi Teal vs Splashy

Maxi Teal and Splashy come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 21 for Splashy vs 13 for Maxi Teal — means Splashy will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 11.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
