Violet Crush vs Obscura
Where Violet Crush belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Obscura is a Little Greene color. Violet Crush reads as grey-purple, while Obscura reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Obscura (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Violet Crush (LRV 46), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
