Corinthian White vs Pressed Violet
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Corinthian White reads as beige-white, while Pressed Violet reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Corinthian White (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Pressed Violet (LRV 38), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Corinthian White runs yellow and red while Pressed Violet is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
