Awesome Violet vs Wisteria
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both blue-purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-purple to land. Wisteria (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Awesome Violet (LRV 45), a difference of 3 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 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
