Bran MuffinPPGvsBosc PearSherwin-WilliamsΔE 4.5Noticeable difference

Bran Muffin is a PPG color while Bosc Pear comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. With LRVs of 34 and 32, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 4.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
