Castle Gate vs Violet Mist

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Castle Gate reads as grey, while Violet Mist reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 62 vs 26, Violet Mist will read as the brighter of the two — a 36-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms.
