Quietly Violet vs Schooner
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Quietly Violet reads as grey-purple, while Schooner reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Quietly Violet (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Schooner (LRV 18), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Quietly Violet runs red while Schooner is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
