Blue Orchid vs Lavender Ice
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Lavender Ice (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Orchid (LRV 50), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Orchid runs blue while Lavender Ice is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
