Crocus Petal Purple vs Purple Heart
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Crocus Petal Purple reads as purple, while Purple Heart reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Crocus Petal Purple (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Purple Heart (LRV 25), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean purple, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
