Pale Violet vs Gravity
Where Pale Violet belongs to PPG's range, Gravity is a Valspar color. Hue-wise, Pale Violet belongs to the blue-purple family and Gravity to the grey family. Pale Violet (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Gravity (LRV 56), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Pale 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.
