Quietly Violet vs Whirlpool

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Quietly Violet belongs to the grey-purple family and Whirlpool to the blue-grey family. Whirlpool (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Quietly Violet (LRV 22), a difference of 53 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Quietly Violet runs red while Whirlpool is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
