Roman Violet vs Pure White
Roman Violet (PPG) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Roman Violet reads as blue-purple, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 75-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 9 for Roman Violet — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 65.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
