French Lilac vs Neon
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, French Lilac belongs to the blue-purple family and Neon to the yellow family. Neon (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than French Lilac (LRV 56), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. French Lilac runs blue and purple while Neon is decidedly green and yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
