Black Raspberry vs Paradise Valley

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Black Raspberry reads as grey, while Paradise Valley reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Paradise Valley (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Black Raspberry (LRV 7), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Black Raspberry runs purple while Paradise Valley is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 78.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
