Dark Lilac vs Ink
Where Dark Lilac belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ink is a Tikkurila color. Dark Lilac reads as blue-purple, while Ink reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Dark Lilac (LRV 10) reflects noticeably more light than Ink (LRV 6), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
