Handmade Paper vs Violet Sparkle
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Handmade Paper reads as beige-yellow, while Violet Sparkle reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Handmade Paper (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Violet Sparkle (LRV 69), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Handmade Paper 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 21.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
