French Violet vs Split Pea

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. French Violet reads as blue-grey, while Split Pea reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 39 vs 18, Split Pea will read as the brighter of the two — a 21-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — French Violet's blue character against Split Pea's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 65.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
