Wild Orchid vs Radiant Lilac
Where Wild Orchid belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Radiant Lilac is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Radiant Lilac (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Wild Orchid (LRV 25), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Wild Orchid runs purple while Radiant Lilac is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
