Almost Aqua vs Sourdough

Almost AquaPPGvsSourdoughPPGΔE 29.1 — Very different colors

Almost Aqua and Sourdough come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Almost Aqua belongs to the green family and Sourdough to the beige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 62 vs 62 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 29.1 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.
