Atrium White vs Velvet Plum
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Atrium White reads as beige-greige, while Velvet Plum reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Atrium White (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Velvet Plum (LRV 12), a difference of 73 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Atrium White runs warm while Velvet Plum is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 55.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
