Spring Iris vs Winter Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Spring Iris reads as blue-purple, while Winter Gray reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spring Iris (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Winter Gray (LRV 62), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spring Iris runs blue and purple while Winter Gray is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
