Bark vs Purity

BarkPPGvsPurityPPGΔE 54.8Very different colors

Bark and Purity come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Bark belongs to the grey family and Purity to the beige family. The 70-point LRV gap — 80 for Purity vs 10 for Bark — means Purity will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 54.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
