Delicate White vs Purple Essence

Both from PPG's palette. Delicate White reads as white, while Purple Essence reads as purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Delicate White (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Purple Essence (LRV 47), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 26.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
