Beach Plum vs Silver Dollar
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Beach Plum belongs to the pink-purple family and Silver Dollar to the grey family. Beach Plum (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Dollar (LRV 44), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Beach Plum runs purple while Silver Dollar is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
