African Violet vs Camelot
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. African Violet reads as grey-purple, while Camelot reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. African Violet (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Camelot (LRV 10), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. African Violet runs purple while Camelot is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
