Pressed Violet vs Indulgent
Where Pressed Violet belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Indulgent is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Pressed Violet belongs to the blue-purple family and Indulgent to the blue family. Indulgent (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Pressed Violet (LRV 38), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pressed Violet runs blue while Indulgent is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
