Aloha vs Magic Dust

AlohaPPGvsMagic DustPPGΔE 50.6Very different colors

Aloha and Magic Dust come from the same PPG collection. Aloha reads as blue, while Magic Dust reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 14-point LRV gap — 35 for Aloha vs 21 for Magic Dust — means Aloha will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 50.6 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.
