Mauve Bauhaus vs Blue lilac
Where Mauve Bauhaus belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Blue lilac is a RAL Classic color. These are both blue-purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-purple to land. Blue lilac (LRV 19) reflects noticeably more light than Mauve Bauhaus (LRV 13), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
