Purple Heart vs Seahorse

The 62-point LRV gap — 87 for Seahorse vs 25 for Purple Heart — means Seahorse will open up a space more effectively. Where Purple Heart leans purple, Seahorse reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 56.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
