Black MagicPPGvsChocolate RipplePPGΔE 21.1 — Distinct difference

Black Magic and Chocolate Ripple come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Black Magic belongs to the grey family and Chocolate Ripple to the beige-greige family. The 9-point LRV gap — 13 for Chocolate Ripple vs 4 for Black Magic — means Chocolate Ripple will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 21.1 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.
