Violet Crush vs Timeless Lilac

Violet CrushCloverdale PaintvsTimeless LilacPPGΔE 2.1Subtle difference

Violet Crush (Cloverdale Paint) and Timeless Lilac (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Violet Crush belongs to the grey-purple family and Timeless Lilac to the blue family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 46 vs 46 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 2.1 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
