Clear Skies vs Quietly Violet
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Clear Skies reads as blue, while Quietly Violet reads as grey-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Clear Skies (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Quietly Violet (LRV 22), a difference of 55 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Clear Skies runs blue while Quietly Violet is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
