Pale Powder vs Cactus Blossom
Where Pale Powder belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Cactus Blossom is a PPG color. Pale Powder reads as grey, while Cactus Blossom reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cactus Blossom (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Pale Powder (LRV 70), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
