Violet Sparkle vs Frosted Steel
Where Violet Sparkle belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Frosted Steel is a Dulux color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Frosted Steel (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Violet Sparkle (LRV 69), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Violet Sparkle runs blue while Frosted Steel is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
