Velour vs Obi Lilac
Velour is a Cloverdale Paint color while Obi Lilac comes from Sherwin-Williams. Velour reads as purple, while Obi Lilac reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 44 vs 39, Velour will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
