Pale Violet vs Pure White
Pale Violet (PPG) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Pale Violet reads as blue-purple, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 24-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 60 for Pale Violet — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 14.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
