Brush Blue vs Quietly Violet
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Brush Blue belongs to the blue-grey family and Quietly Violet to the grey-purple family. Quietly Violet (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Brush Blue (LRV 10), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Brush Blue runs blue while Quietly Violet is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.3, the contrast is hard to miss.
