Ash vs Purity
Both from PPG's palette. Hue-wise, Ash belongs to the beige-greige family and Purity to the beige family. Purity (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Ash (LRV 73), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Ash on one side and Purity on the other.
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.
