Joyful Lilac vs Vanity Pink

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Joyful Lilac reads as pink-purple, while Vanity Pink reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Joyful Lilac (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Vanity Pink (LRV 65), a difference of 4 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 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
