Passionate Purple vs Vigorous Violet

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Passionate Purple belongs to the purple family and Vigorous Violet to the pink-purple family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (12 vs 13), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
