Grape Ice vs Heather Plum

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within purple to land. Grape Ice (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Heather Plum (LRV 47), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean purple, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
