Black MagicPPGvsCornucopiaPPGΔE 74.7 — Very different colors

Both from PPG's palette. Black Magic reads as grey, while Cornucopia reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cornucopia (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Black Magic (LRV 4), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 74.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
