Mauve Mist vs Opulence
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Mauve Mist belongs to the pink family and Opulence to the beige family. Opulence (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Mauve Mist (LRV 36), a difference of 51 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mauve Mist runs red while Opulence is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
