Violet Eclipse vs Naval
Violet Eclipse (PPG) and Naval (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Violet Eclipse reads as purple, while Naval reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 24-point LRV gap — 28 for Violet Eclipse vs 4 for Naval — means Violet Eclipse will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 39.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
