Radiant Lilac vs Taiga

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Radiant Lilac (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Taiga (LRV 21), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Radiant Lilac runs cool while Taiga is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
