Taro vs White Dove

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Taro belongs to the pink-purple family and White Dove to the beige-greige family. White Dove (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Taro (LRV 9), a difference of 74 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Taro runs purple while White Dove is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 66.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
