Baroness vs Vigorous Violet

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both pink-purples, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-purple to land. Baroness (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Vigorous Violet (LRV 13), a difference of 15 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. With a ΔE of 16.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
