Sabre Gray vs Spring Purple

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Sabre Gray belongs to the green-grey family and Spring Purple to the blue-purple family. Sabre Gray (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Purple (LRV 26), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sabre Gray runs green while Spring Purple is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
