Ashen vs Artichoke
Ashen (PPG) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Ashen reads as beige-greige, while Artichoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 31-point LRV gap — 52 for Ashen vs 21 for Artichoke — means Ashen will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 26.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Ashen on one side and Artichoke 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.
