Debonaire vs Pale Violet
Both from PPG's palette. Hue-wise, Debonaire belongs to the blue family and Pale Violet to the blue-purple family. Debonaire (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Pale Violet (LRV 60), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
