Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, French Violet belongs to the blue-grey family and Tree Moss to the greige-grey family. At LRV 47 vs 18, Tree Moss will read as the brighter of the two — a 29-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — French Violet's blue character against Tree Moss's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 38.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
