Deep Mauve vs Flowering Herbs
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Deep Mauve belongs to the pink family and Flowering Herbs to the beige-greige family. Flowering Herbs (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Mauve (LRV 20), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Deep Mauve runs red while Flowering Herbs is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
