Faded Violet vs Purple Haze
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. At LRV 29 vs 23, Faded Violet will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Faded Violet's blue character against Purple Haze's blue and purple — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 6.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
