Spring Purple vs White Violet

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Spring Purple belongs to the blue-purple family and White Violet to the green-purple family. White Violet (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Purple (LRV 26), a difference of 56 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spring Purple runs blue and purple while White Violet is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 43.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
