Feathery Lilac vs Mauve Tinge
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the white family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Feathery Lilac (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Mauve Tinge (LRV 76), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Feathery Lilac runs cool while Mauve Tinge is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources.
