Forget-Me-Not vs Wood Violet
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Forget-Me-Not reads as blue-purple, while Wood Violet reads as grey-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (16 vs 16), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 12.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
