Lavender Spectacle vs Purple Surf
Lavender Spectacle is a Cloverdale Paint color while Purple Surf comes from PPG. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. With LRVs of 32 and 32, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 3.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
