Castle Stone vs Magic Dust

Castle StonePPGvsMagic DustPPGΔE 23.2 — Distinct difference

Castle Stone and Magic Dust come from the same PPG collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 12-point LRV gap — 21 for Magic Dust vs 9 for Castle Stone — means Magic Dust will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 23.2 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.
