Black Raspberry vs Stonewashed

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Black Raspberry reads as grey, while Stonewashed reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Stonewashed (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Black Raspberry (LRV 7), a difference of 73 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Black Raspberry runs purple while Stonewashed is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 66.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
