Black ForestPPGvsHorseradishPPGΔE 62.2 — Very different colors

Black Forest and Horseradish come from the same PPG collection. Black Forest reads as blue-grey, while Horseradish reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 74-point LRV gap — 81 for Horseradish vs 7 for Black Forest — means Horseradish will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 62.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
