Tavern Ochre vs Violet Mist
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Tavern Ochre reads as beige, while Violet Mist reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Violet Mist (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Tavern Ochre (LRV 46), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tavern Ochre runs red while Violet Mist is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.4, the contrast is hard to miss.
