Garden Path vs Gentle Violet

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Garden Path reads as green-grey, while Gentle Violet reads as purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Garden Path (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Gentle Violet (LRV 7), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Garden Path runs green while Gentle Violet is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 58.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
