Soulful Blue vs Vesper Violet

Soulful Blue and Vesper Violet come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 15-point LRV gap — 35 for Vesper Violet vs 20 for Soulful Blue — means Vesper Violet will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 13.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
