Plum Royale vs Tea Light
Plum Royale and Tea Light come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Plum Royale reads as grey, while Tea Light reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 54-point LRV gap — 60 for Tea Light vs 6 for Plum Royale — means Tea Light will open up a space more effectively. Where Plum Royale leans purple, Tea Light reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 60.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
