Blackberry Punch vs Spring Thaw

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Blackberry Punch belongs to the blue-grey family and Spring Thaw to the beige-greige family. Spring Thaw (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Blackberry Punch (LRV 7), a difference of 55 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blackberry Punch runs blue while Spring Thaw is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 58.8, the contrast is hard to miss.
