Flint vs Lavender Lipstick
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Flint belongs to the grey family and Lavender Lipstick to the purple family. Lavender Lipstick (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Flint (LRV 12), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Flint runs blue while Lavender Lipstick is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
