Craftsman Gold vs Blonde
Where Craftsman Gold belongs to PPG's range, Blonde is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Blonde (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Craftsman Gold (LRV 48), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.8, 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.
