Pressed Violet vs Waterdrop

Pressed Violet and Waterdrop come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Pressed Violet reads as blue-purple, while Waterdrop reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 16-point LRV gap — 38 for Pressed Violet vs 22 for Waterdrop — means Pressed Violet will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 21.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
