Faded Violet vs Strand of Pearls®
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Faded Violet reads as blue-grey, while Strand of Pearls® reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Strand of Pearls® (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Faded Violet (LRV 29), a difference of 43 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Faded Violet runs blue while Strand of Pearls® is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
