Majestic Violet vs Seahorse
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Majestic Violet reads as blue-purple, while Seahorse reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Seahorse (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Majestic Violet (LRV 5), a difference of 82 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Majestic Violet runs purple while Seahorse is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 79.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
