- Pick Quiet Moments (BM 1563) for a small room or a north-facing room, because it is 11 LRV points lighter (60.7 vs 49.7), so it bounces back more of the limited light
- Pick Beach Glass (BM 1564) for a south-facing room, because its Lab b* is 1.2 against 2.5, so it is the cooler of the two and offsets warm direct sun
- Pick Quiet Moments (BM 1563) to warm a north-facing room, because it is the warmer of the two (Lab b* 2.5), which counters cool indirect light
