Black Raspberry vs Colony Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Black Raspberry belongs to the grey family and Colony Green to the green family. Colony Green (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Black Raspberry (LRV 7), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Black Raspberry runs purple while Colony Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 60.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
