Dark Lilac vs Spring Valley
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Dark Lilac reads as blue-purple, while Spring Valley reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spring Valley (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Dark Lilac (LRV 10), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dark Lilac runs purple while Spring Valley is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
