Site White vs Vigorous Violet

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Site White reads as grey-white, while Vigorous Violet reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Site White (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Vigorous Violet (LRV 13), a difference of 60 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Site White runs neutral while Vigorous Violet is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 52.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
