Grape Gum vs Scandinavian Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Grape Gum belongs to the blue-purple family and Scandinavian Blue to the blue family. Scandinavian Blue (LRV 12) reflects noticeably more light than Grape Gum (LRV 7), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue and purple, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 10.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
