Amethyst Shadow vs Meadow Pink

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Amethyst Shadow belongs to the blue-grey family and Meadow Pink to the beige-greige family. Meadow Pink (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Amethyst Shadow (LRV 18), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Amethyst Shadow runs blue while Meadow Pink is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
