Alligator Alley vs Exotic Purple
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Alligator Alley reads as green-yellow, while Exotic Purple reads as purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Alligator Alley (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than Exotic Purple (LRV 5), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alligator Alley runs green while Exotic Purple is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 41.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
