Hint of Violet vs Whitestone
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hint of Violet reads as grey-purple, while Whitestone reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hint of Violet (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Whitestone (LRV 61), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hint of Violet runs red while Whitestone is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
