Flint vs Violet Petal
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Flint belongs to the grey family and Violet Petal to the purple family. Violet Petal (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Flint (LRV 12), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Flint runs blue while Violet Petal is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 41.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
