Cosmic vs Oatmeal
Cosmic and Oatmeal come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Cosmic belongs to the blue family and Oatmeal to the beige-greige family. The 26-point LRV gap — 76 for Oatmeal vs 50 for Cosmic — means Oatmeal will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 22.1 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.

Cosmic vs Oatmeal Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cosmic on one side and Oatmeal on the other.
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.
