Summer Mist vs Fresh Violet
Where Summer Mist belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Fresh Violet is a PPG color. Summer Mist reads as blue, while Fresh Violet reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Summer Mist (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Fresh Violet (LRV 40), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 3.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
