Majestic Purple vs Softened Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Majestic Purple reads as blue-purple, while Softened Green reads as green-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Softened Green (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Majestic Purple (LRV 5), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Majestic Purple runs cool while Softened Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 58.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
