Acorn Squash vs Snowbound

Acorn SquashPPGvsSnowboundSherwin-WilliamsΔE 76.5Very different colors

Acorn Squash (PPG) and Snowbound (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Acorn Squash reads as beige-yellow, while Snowbound reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 13-point LRV gap — 83 for Snowbound vs 70 for Acorn Squash — means Snowbound will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 76.5 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.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
