Ancestry Violet vs Planetary Silver

Both from Behr's palette. Ancestry Violet reads as grey-purple, while Planetary Silver reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Planetary Silver (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Ancestry Violet (LRV 31), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ancestry Violet runs purple while Planetary Silver is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
