Halo vs Violet Sparkle
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Halo belongs to the beige-greige family and Violet Sparkle to the blue-grey family. Halo (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Violet Sparkle (LRV 69), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Halo runs yellow while Violet Sparkle is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. 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.
