Macchiato vs Gotta Have It

MacchiatoJotunvsGotta Have ItPPGΔE 1.2Subtle difference

Where Macchiato belongs to Jotun's range, Gotta Have It is a PPG color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (55 vs 55), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
