Heather Plum vs Mighty Aphrodite
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. Heather Plum (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Mighty Aphrodite (LRV 36), a difference of 10 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. The ΔE 9.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
