Passion Plum vs Royal Plum
Where Passion Plum belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Royal Plum is a PPG color. Both sit in the pink-purple family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Passion Plum (LRV 12) reflects noticeably more light than Royal Plum (LRV 7), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
