Spring Bud vs Violet Dusk
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Spring Bud belongs to the beige-greige family and Violet Dusk to the blue-grey family. Spring Bud (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Violet Dusk (LRV 70), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spring Bud runs yellow while Violet Dusk is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
