Purple Cream vs Spangle
Purple Cream (Benjamin Moore) and Spangle (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-purple to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 77 for Purple Cream vs 73 for Spangle — means Purple Cream will open up a space more effectively. Where Purple Cream leans red, Spangle reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 3.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
