Super Nova vs Purple Parlor
Super Nova (Benjamin Moore) and Purple Parlor (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Super Nova reads as grey, while Purple Parlor reads as grey-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 10 vs 9 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 3.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Super Nova vs Purple Parlor Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Super Nova on one side and Purple Parlor on the other.
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.
