Frosted Fern vs Vesper Violet
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Frosted Fern reads as greige-grey, while Vesper Violet reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Frosted Fern (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Vesper Violet (LRV 35), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Frosted Fern runs neutral while Vesper Violet is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.6, the contrast is hard to miss.
