Distinguish

What is the correct usage of "Distinguish/Distinguishes"?

distinguish X from Y
or
distinguish between X and Y

I have found explainations and examples in support of each case. But I am unable to find a rule.

Distinguish between X and Y (2 very different items, distinguished, say red and green colors) Some color blind people cannot distinguish between red and green
Distinguish X from Y (Two pretty similar items, say original paintings from fake ones)
