Black MagicPPGvsSandpiperPPGΔE 61.8 — Very different colors

Black Magic and Sandpiper come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Black Magic belongs to the grey family and Sandpiper to the beige family. The 66-point LRV gap — 70 for Sandpiper vs 4 for Black Magic — means Sandpiper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 61.8 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.
