Dusty Lilac vs Rosebud
Where Dusty Lilac belongs to Behr's range, Rosebud is a Sherwin-Williams color. Dusty Lilac reads as grey, while Rosebud reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rosebud (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Dusty Lilac (LRV 61), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dusty Lilac runs red while Rosebud is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
