Dark Purple vs Once Upon a Time
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Dark Purple belongs to the pink-purple family and Once Upon a Time to the green family. Once Upon a Time (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than Dark Purple (LRV 6), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dark Purple runs red while Once Upon a Time is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 68.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
