Blue Phlox vs Enchanted Evening
Both from PPG's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Enchanted Evening (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Phlox (LRV 74), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
