Gray Violet vs Coquina
Gray Violet is a PPG color while Coquina comes from Sherwin-Williams. Gray Violet reads as grey-purple, while Coquina reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 27 and 28, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.3, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

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.
