Lichen Stone vs Violet Sparkle
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Lichen Stone reads as beige-greige, while Violet Sparkle reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Violet Sparkle (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Lichen Stone (LRV 50), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lichen Stone runs yellow while Violet Sparkle is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
