Eggplant vs Pleasant Valley

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Eggplant reads as pink, while Pleasant Valley reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pleasant Valley (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Eggplant (LRV 11), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Eggplant runs red while Pleasant Valley is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
