Early Frost vs Hint of Violet
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Early Frost reads as blue-grey, while Hint of Violet reads as grey-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hint of Violet (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Early Frost (LRV 61), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Early Frost runs blue while Hint of Violet is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
