Violet Sparkle vs Starry Night
Where Violet Sparkle belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Starry Night is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (69 vs 69), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Violet Sparkle runs blue while Starry Night is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.1, 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.
