Seawashed Glass (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Wood Violet (LRV 16), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Seawashed Glass 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 49.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
