Plum Royale vs White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Plum Royale belongs to the grey family and White to the green-white family. White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Plum Royale (LRV 6), a difference of 77 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Plum Royale runs purple while White is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 68.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
