Ash Violet vs Obi Lilac
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Ash Violet belongs to the grey-purple family and Obi Lilac to the grey family. Obi Lilac (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Ash Violet (LRV 34), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
