Comfort vs Purity

ComfortPPGvsPurityPPGΔE 11.1Distinct difference

Both from PPG's palette. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Purity (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Comfort (LRV 63), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 11.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
