Enchanted vs Sour Apple

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Enchanted belongs to the blue family and Sour Apple to the yellow family. Sour Apple (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Enchanted (LRV 45), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Enchanted runs blue and purple while Sour Apple is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
