Aldabra vs Artichoke
Aldabra (PPG) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Aldabra reads as greige-grey, while Artichoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 15-point LRV gap — 36 for Aldabra vs 21 for Artichoke — means Aldabra will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 15.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
