Thunder vs Violet Stone

Thunder and Violet Stone come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Thunder belongs to the greige-grey family and Violet Stone to the blue-purple family. The 18-point LRV gap — 48 for Thunder vs 29 for Violet Stone — means Thunder will open up a space more effectively. Where Thunder leans red, Violet Stone reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 28.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
