Crowning Glory vs Clematis
Crowning Glory is a PPG color while Clematis comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within purple to land. With LRVs of 18 and 16, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 6.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
