Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 7 vs 7 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Gentle Violet leans purple, Grape Gum reads blue and purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 7.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
