Pageant Pansy vs Red lilac
Where Pageant Pansy belongs to PPG's range, Red lilac is a RAL Classic color. Pageant Pansy reads as grey, while Red lilac reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Red lilac (LRV 18) reflects noticeably more light than Pageant Pansy (LRV 13), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
