Black Raspberry vs Cucumber Salad

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Black Raspberry belongs to the grey family and Cucumber Salad to the green family. Cucumber Salad (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 Cucumber Salad is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 65.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
