Beacon Gray vs Violet Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Beacon Gray reads as blue-grey, while Violet Mist reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Beacon Gray (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Violet Mist (LRV 62), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
