Plum Perfect vs Plum Blossom

Plum PerfectPPGvsPlum BlossomSherwin-WilliamsΔE 6.7Noticeable difference

Plum Perfect is a PPG color while Plum Blossom comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within purple to land. At LRV 33 vs 28, Plum Perfect will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 6.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
