Ancestry Violet vs Riverdale

Both from Behr's palette. Ancestry Violet reads as grey-purple, while Riverdale reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Riverdale (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Ancestry Violet (LRV 31), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ancestry Violet runs purple while Riverdale is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
