Violet Vignette (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Whispering Wind (LRV 69), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Whispering Wind runs blue while Violet Vignette is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources.
