Asphalt vs Spring Violet
Asphalt and Spring Violet come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Asphalt reads as grey, while Spring Violet reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 22-point LRV gap — 43 for Spring Violet vs 21 for Asphalt — means Spring Violet will open up a space more effectively. Where Asphalt leans yellow, Spring Violet reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 22.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
