Ash vs Snowbound
Where Ash belongs to PPG's range, Snowbound is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Snowbound (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Ash (LRV 73), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
