Charmed Violet vs Nightfall

Charmed Violet and Nightfall come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Charmed Violet reads as purple, while Nightfall reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 16-point LRV gap — 24 for Charmed Violet vs 8 for Nightfall — means Charmed Violet will open up a space more effectively. Where Charmed Violet leans purple, Nightfall reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.
