Iced Lavender vs Violet Sparkle

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Violet Sparkle (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Iced Lavender (LRV 65), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Iced Lavender runs blue and purple while Violet Sparkle is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
