Reflection vs Vigorous Violet
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Reflection reads as grey, while Vigorous Violet reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Reflection (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Vigorous Violet (LRV 13), a difference of 53 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Reflection runs neutral while Vigorous Violet is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
