Carolina Plum vs Screen Gem
Where Carolina Plum belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Screen Gem is a Cloverdale Paint color. Carolina Plum reads as grey, while Screen Gem reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Carolina Plum (LRV 27) reflects noticeably more light than Screen Gem (LRV 24), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
