Hint of Violet vs Polar Sky
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hint of Violet reads as grey-purple, while Polar Sky reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Polar Sky (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Hint of Violet (LRV 66), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hint of Violet runs red while Polar Sky is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
