Red lilac vs Vigorous Violet
Where Red lilac belongs to RAL Classic's range, Vigorous Violet is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the pink-purple family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Red lilac (LRV 18) reflects noticeably more light than Vigorous Violet (LRV 13), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 3.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
