Black WidowPPGvsSourdoughPPGΔE 47.5 — Very different colors

Black Widow and Sourdough come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Black Widow belongs to the grey family and Sourdough to the beige family. The 52-point LRV gap — 62 for Sourdough vs 10 for Black Widow — means Sourdough will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 47.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
