Delicate WhitePPGvsPurple SurfPPGΔE 35.2 — Very different colors

Delicate White and Purple Surf come from the same PPG collection. Delicate White reads as white, while Purple Surf reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 56-point LRV gap — 88 for Delicate White vs 32 for Purple Surf — means Delicate White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 35.2 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.

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.
