Alpaca Wool vs Echelon Ecru
Where Alpaca Wool belongs to PPG's range, Echelon Ecru is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Echelon Ecru (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Alpaca Wool (LRV 66), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
