Nosegay vs Violet Echo
Where Nosegay belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Violet Echo is a PPG color. Hue-wise, Nosegay belongs to the blue family and Violet Echo to the blue-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (75 vs 74), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.2, 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Nosegay on one side and Violet Echo on the other.
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.
