Shy Violet vs Enchant
Shy Violet (PPG) and Enchant (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Shy Violet reads as pink-purple, while Enchant reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 60 vs 59 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 2.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

Digital color is approximate.

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