Bear Hug vs Desert
Where Bear Hug belongs to PPG's range, Desert is a Tikkurila color. Bear Hug reads as beige-greige, while Desert reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Desert (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Bear Hug (LRV 32), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
