Inspired vs Spring Violet
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Inspired belongs to the grey-red family and Spring Violet to the blue-grey family. Spring Violet (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Inspired (LRV 37), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Inspired runs purple and red while Spring Violet is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.1 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.
