Paradiso vs Quietly Violet

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Paradiso belongs to the blue family and Quietly Violet to the grey-purple family. Paradiso (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Quietly Violet (LRV 22), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Paradiso runs blue while Quietly Violet is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.3, the contrast is hard to miss.
