Misty Violet vs Gravity
Misty Violet is a PPG color while Gravity comes from Valspar. Misty Violet reads as blue-purple, while Gravity reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 69 vs 56, Misty Violet will read as the brighter of the two — a 13-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 9.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Misty Violet vs Gravity in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Misty Violet and Gravity are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Misty Violet returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Misty Violet will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Gravity would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Misty Violet will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Gravity would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Misty Violet will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Gravity would.
Mudroom
A mudroom color needs to hold up under the most casual scrutiny: a glance as you're coming and going, often in mixed or artificial light. Misty Violet reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Gravity.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Misty Violet will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Gravity would.

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