Chimichurri vs Purplicious
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Chimichurri belongs to the green-grey family and Purplicious to the purple family. Chimichurri (LRV 10) reflects noticeably more light than Purplicious (LRV 7), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chimichurri runs green while Purplicious is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
