Narcissus vs Violet Vignette

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Narcissus reads as beige-yellow, while Violet Vignette reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Narcissus (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Violet Vignette (LRV 74), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Narcissus 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 23.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
