Ariel vs Blue Ground
Ariel (PPG) and Blue Ground (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. The 16-point LRV gap — 65 for Ariel vs 49 for Blue Ground — means Ariel will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 10.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
Ariel vs Blue Ground Color Comparison
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.
