Swansdown vs Tidal Foam
Swansdown is a Dulux color while Tidal Foam comes from PPG. Hue-wise, Swansdown belongs to the greige-white family and Tidal Foam to the green family. With LRVs of 76 and 78, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

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.
