Black Raspberry vs Ultra Violet

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Black Raspberry reads as grey, while Ultra Violet reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ultra Violet (LRV 13) reflects noticeably more light than Black Raspberry (LRV 7), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean purple, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 17.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
