Silver Crest vs Violet Petal

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Silver Crest belongs to the green-grey family and Violet Petal to the purple family. Silver Crest (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Violet Petal (LRV 54), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Silver Crest runs green while Violet Petal is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
