Crushed Velvet vs Oatmeal

Both are PPG colors. Crushed Velvet reads as blue, while Oatmeal reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 76 vs 11, Oatmeal will read as the brighter of the two — a 65-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 71.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
