Black Magic vs Elegant Ivory

Black Magic and Elegant Ivory come from the same PPG collection. Black Magic reads as grey, while Elegant Ivory reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 75-point LRV gap — 79 for Elegant Ivory vs 4 for Black Magic — means Elegant Ivory will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 65.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
