Alpaca Wool vs Blue Smoke

Alpaca WoolPPGvsBlue SmokePPGΔE 16.9 — Distinct difference

Both are PPG colors. Alpaca Wool reads as beige, while Blue Smoke reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 73 vs 66, Blue Smoke will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 16.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
