Hydrangea vs Iris Bliss
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hydrangea reads as purple, while Iris Bliss reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hydrangea (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Iris Bliss (LRV 34), a difference of 3 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 9.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
