Gray Violet vs Slate Violet
Gray Violet is a PPG color while Slate Violet comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both grey-purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey-purple to land. With LRVs of 27 and 29, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
