Capri Cream vs Carambola
Where Capri Cream belongs to PPG's range, Carambola is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Capri Cream (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Carambola (LRV 82), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
