Shadow vs Whisper Violet
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Shadow belongs to the grey family and Whisper Violet to the blue-purple family. Whisper Violet (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Shadow (LRV 9), a difference of 67 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Shadow runs cool while Whisper Violet is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 58.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
