Vegan vs Vigorous Violet

VeganSherwin-WilliamsvsVigorous VioletSherwin-WilliamsΔE 63.4 — Very different colors

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Vegan reads as green, while Vigorous Violet reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Vegan (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Vigorous Violet (LRV 13), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 63.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
