Majestic Violet vs Polar Lights
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Majestic Violet belongs to the blue-purple family and Polar Lights to the yellow family. Polar Lights (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Majestic Violet (LRV 5), a difference of 74 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Majestic Violet runs purple while Polar Lights is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 81.4, the contrast is hard to miss.
