Instinct vs Violet Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Instinct reads as blue, while Violet Mist reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Violet Mist (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Instinct (LRV 55), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
