Chinese Porcelain vs Artichoke

Chinese PorcelainPPGvsArtichokeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 38.6Very different colors

Chinese Porcelain is a PPG color while Artichoke comes from Sherwin-Williams. Chinese Porcelain reads as blue, while Artichoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 21 vs 11, Artichoke will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 38.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
