Crescent Moon vs Violet Vignette

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Crescent Moon belongs to the beige-yellow family and Violet Vignette to the blue-purple family. Crescent Moon (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Violet Vignette (LRV 74), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Crescent Moon runs warm while Violet Vignette is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
