Purple Cabbage vs Red violet
Purple Cabbage (PPG) and Red violet (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-purple to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 12 for Red violet vs 8 for Purple Cabbage — means Red violet will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 11.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
