Veiled Violet vs H481
Where Veiled Violet belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, H481 is a Tikkurila color. Veiled Violet reads as grey-purple, while H481 reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. H481 (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Veiled Violet (LRV 47), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
