Slate Violet vs Soulmate
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Slate Violet belongs to the grey-purple family and Soulmate to the grey family. Slate Violet (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Soulmate (LRV 20), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 10.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
