Delicate WhitePPGvsSerene SeaPPGΔE 36.8 — Very different colors

Both from PPG's palette. Delicate White reads as white, while Serene Sea reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Delicate White (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Serene Sea (LRV 36), a difference of 52 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 36.8, 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.
