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.
