Beachy KeenPPGvsPurityPPGΔE 11.7Distinct difference

Beachy Keen and Purity come from the same PPG collection. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 15-point LRV gap — 80 for Purity vs 65 for Beachy Keen — means Purity will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 11.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
