Laguna Yellow vs Pressed Violet

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Laguna Yellow belongs to the beige-yellow family and Pressed Violet to the blue-purple family. Laguna Yellow (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Pressed Violet (LRV 38), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Laguna Yellow runs yellow while Pressed Violet is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
