Ruby Violet vs Vintage Vessel
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Ruby Violet reads as grey-purple, while Vintage Vessel reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Vintage Vessel (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Ruby Violet (LRV 24), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 30.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
