AriaPPGvsFieldstonePPGΔE 21.9 — Distinct difference

Both are PPG colors. Aria reads as white, while Fieldstone reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 77 vs 40, Aria will read as the brighter of the two — a 37-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 21.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 10 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
