Inspired Lilac vs Joyful Lilac
Inspired Lilac and Joyful Lilac come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Inspired Lilac reads as purple-red, while Joyful Lilac reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 71 vs 69 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 4.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
