The difference
Read from the numbersPalladian Blue is the lighter of the two at LRV 60.4, 45.7 points above Coat of Arms at LRV 14.74. Both read cool. Both belong to the blue family. For a whole room, Palladian Blue is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Coat of Arms is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsPalladian Blue HC-144 is part of Benjamin Moore's Historical Colors, which Benjamin Moore describes as "all is calm with this soft, airy blue-green that conjures clear skies." Benjamin Moore gives an LRV of 60.4.
Coat of Arms is a deep, gray-tempered teal — blue enough to anchor a room the way a navy would, green enough to feel alive against wood, brass and raffia. At LRV 14.7 it is a genuinely dark color, and that darkness is where its elegance lives: it recedes, it flatters everything placed against it, and it never looks like a color that is trying.
