Chapeau Violet vs Wishful Blue

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Chapeau Violet belongs to the blue-purple family and Wishful Blue to the blue family. Chapeau Violet (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Wishful Blue (LRV 72), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light.
