Dark Teal vs Quietly Violet
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Dark Teal reads as blue, while Quietly Violet reads as grey-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Quietly Violet (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Dark Teal (LRV 10), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dark Teal 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 33.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
