The 36-point LRV gap — 78 for Glimmer vs 42 for Novel Lilac — means Glimmer will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 30.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Glimmer vs Novel Lilac Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Glimmer on one side and Novel Lilac on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
