Celtic Folklore vs Exotic Purple
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Celtic Folklore reads as yellow, while Exotic Purple reads as purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Celtic Folklore (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Exotic Purple (LRV 5), a difference of 61 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Celtic Folklore runs green while Exotic Purple is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 87.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
