Amethyst Shadow vs Raindance

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Amethyst Shadow reads as blue-grey, while Raindance reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Raindance (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Amethyst Shadow (LRV 18), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Amethyst Shadow runs cool while Raindance is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
