Privilege Green vs Wood Violet
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Privilege Green reads as green-grey, while Wood Violet reads as grey-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Privilege Green (LRV 23) reflects noticeably more light than Wood Violet (LRV 16), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Privilege Green runs neutral while Wood Violet is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
