Lavender Ice vs White Down
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Lavender Ice belongs to the blue family and White Down to the beige-white family. White Down (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Lavender Ice (LRV 67), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lavender Ice runs blue and purple while White Down is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
