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. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
