Black Raspberry vs Rushing River
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Black Raspberry reads as grey, while Rushing River reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rushing River (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Black Raspberry (LRV 7), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Black Raspberry runs purple while Rushing River is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
