Inspired Lilac vs Potentially Purple

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Inspired Lilac belongs to the purple-red family and Potentially Purple to the blue-purple family. Inspired Lilac (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Potentially Purple (LRV 62), a difference of 9 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. The ΔE 6.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
