Simply White vs Ultra Violet
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Simply White belongs to the beige-white family and Ultra Violet to the pink-purple family. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Ultra Violet (LRV 13), a difference of 77 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Simply White runs yellow while Ultra Violet is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
