Cocoon vs Venture Violet
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Cocoon reads as greige-grey, while Venture Violet reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Venture Violet (LRV 23) reflects noticeably more light than Cocoon (LRV 15), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cocoon runs warm while Venture Violet is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 39.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
