Egyptian Violet vs Violet Blue
Egyptian Violet is a PPG color while Violet Blue comes from RAL Classic. These are both blue-purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-purple to land. At LRV 10 vs 7, Violet Blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 9.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
