Violet Ice vs Naval
Violet Ice (PPG) and Naval (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Violet Ice reads as blue-purple, while Naval reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 73-point LRV gap — 77 for Violet Ice vs 4 for Naval — means Violet Ice will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 65.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Violet Ice on one side and Naval on the other.
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.
