Perfect Periwinkle vs Venture Violet

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Perfect Periwinkle reads as blue, while Venture Violet reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (23 vs 23), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
