Spring Lilac vs Naval
Spring Lilac is a PPG color while Naval comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 47 vs 4, Spring Lilac will read as the brighter of the two — a 43-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 48.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
