F & B Hague Blue - difference in colour between emulsion & eggshell

Have painted walls of living room in estate emulsion and skirting boards in estate eggshell. I’ve looked till my eyes have started spinning around but I definitely think they appear to be two different colours!

The eggshell seems to be more of the green blue I was expecting, but the emulsion a more ‘normal’ blue. I don’t think it’s the light in the room either as when I take the paints outside they also look wildly different in the cans.

Has anyone experienced this? Is it normal? Or have I got a dud batch of paint? It’s very annoying!!

I find F&B eggshell needs a hell of a lot of mixing, especially the dark colours, and can look quite different if it's not properly mixed.

I've used Hague Blue in both finishes in the same room and found them to be a good match.
