Quicksilver vs Ruby Violet

Quicksilver and Ruby Violet come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Quicksilver belongs to the green-white family and Ruby Violet to the grey-purple family. The 52-point LRV gap — 75 for Quicksilver vs 24 for Ruby Violet — means Quicksilver will open up a space more effectively.
