Pale Iris vs Euphoric Lilac
Where Pale Iris belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Euphoric Lilac is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both pink-purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-purple to land. Pale Iris (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Euphoric Lilac (LRV 61), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pale Iris runs purple while Euphoric Lilac 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.
