Alabaster vs Violetta
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Alabaster reads as beige-greige, while Violetta reads as grey-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Alabaster (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Violetta (LRV 49), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alabaster runs yellow while Violetta is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.1, 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.
