RAL 160-1 vs Violet Vignette
Where RAL 160-1 belongs to RAL Effect's range, Violet Vignette is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blue-purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-purple to land. RAL 160-1 (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Violet Vignette (LRV 74), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
