Purple Lotus vs Rainstorm
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Purple Lotus belongs to the grey-purple family and Rainstorm to the grey family. Rainstorm (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Purple Lotus (LRV 10), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Purple Lotus runs purple while Rainstorm is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
