Plum Royale vs Rosepine
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Plum Royale reads as grey, while Rosepine reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rosepine (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than Plum Royale (LRV 6), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Plum Royale runs purple while Rosepine is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
