Black Magic vs Happy Trails
Black Magic and Happy Trails come from the same PPG collection. Black Magic reads as grey, while Happy Trails reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 43-point LRV gap — 47 for Happy Trails vs 4 for Black Magic — means Happy Trails will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 51.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
