Dusk to Dawn vs Violetta
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Dusk to Dawn belongs to the grey family and Violetta to the grey-purple family. Violetta (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Dusk to Dawn (LRV 42), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dusk to Dawn runs neutral while Violetta is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
