Gorgeous Hydrangea vs Puturple

Gorgeous HydrangeaCloverdale PaintvsPuturplePPGΔE 3.7Noticeable difference

Gorgeous Hydrangea (Cloverdale Paint) and Puturple (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both blue-purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-purple to land. The 6-point LRV gap — 41 for Puturple vs 35 for Gorgeous Hydrangea — means Puturple will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.7 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
