Kimono vs Shrinking Violet
Kimono and Shrinking Violet come from the same PPG collection. Kimono reads as blue, while Shrinking Violet reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 25 vs 23 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 4.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Kimono vs Shrinking Violet Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Kimono on one side and Shrinking Violet on the other.
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.
