Adobe White vs Black Magic

Adobe WhitePPGvsBlack MagicPPGΔE 66.9Very different colors

Adobe White and Black Magic come from the same PPG collection. Adobe White reads as beige-white, while Black Magic reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 78-point LRV gap — 82 for Adobe White vs 4 for Black Magic — means Adobe White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 66.9 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. 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.
