Decorator's White vs Hydrangea

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Decorator's White reads as green-white, while Hydrangea reads as purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Decorator's White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Hydrangea (LRV 37), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Decorator's White runs green while Hydrangea is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
