French Violet vs Oatmeal

Both are PPG colors. French Violet reads as blue-purple, while Oatmeal reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 76 vs 30, Oatmeal will read as the brighter of the two — a 46-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 40.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
