Exclusive Plum vs Leaflet
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Exclusive Plum belongs to the grey family and Leaflet to the green-grey family. Leaflet (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Exclusive Plum (LRV 16), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 26.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
