Beach Plum vs Dusky Lilac
Beach Plum (Benjamin Moore) and Dusky Lilac (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Beach Plum reads as pink-purple, while Dusky Lilac reads as purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

A ΔE of 0.9 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
