Exotic Purple vs Winter Snow
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Exotic Purple belongs to the purple family and Winter Snow to the green-white family. Winter Snow (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Exotic Purple (LRV 5), a difference of 77 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Exotic Purple runs purple while Winter Snow is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 72.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
