Blue Lava vs Delicate White

Blue LavaPPGvsDelicate WhitePPGΔE 65.5Very different colors

Blue Lava and Delicate White come from the same PPG collection. Blue Lava reads as blue, while Delicate White reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 80-point LRV gap — 88 for Delicate White vs 8 for Blue Lava — means Delicate White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 65.5 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.
