Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Primavera belongs to the beige-yellow family and Vesper Violet to the blue-grey family. Primavera (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Vesper Violet (LRV 35), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Primavera runs warm while Vesper Violet is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 52.6, the contrast is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
