Sanctuary vs Healing Lavender
Where Sanctuary belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Healing Lavender is a Jotun color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Sanctuary (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Healing Lavender (LRV 35), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sanctuary runs red while Healing Lavender is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
