Awareness (PPG) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Awareness belongs to the yellow family and Artichoke to the grey family. The 56-point LRV gap — 77 for Awareness vs 21 for Artichoke — means Awareness will open up a space more effectively.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Awareness 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.
