Ancient BurgundyValsparvsVirtuosoValsparΔE 17.3Distinct difference

With LRVs of 3 and 4, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 17.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
