Spring Purple vs French Violet
Where Spring Purple belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, French Violet is a PPG color. These are both blue-purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-purple to land. French Violet (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Purple (LRV 26), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
