Fire and Ice vs Vigorous Violet
Where Fire and Ice belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Vigorous Violet is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Fire and Ice belongs to the purple family and Vigorous Violet to the pink-purple family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (15 vs 13), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Fire and Ice runs purple while Vigorous Violet is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
