Double Duty vs Iron Ore

Double DutyPPGvsIron OreSherwin-WilliamsΔE 17.3Distinct difference

Double Duty (PPG) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Double Duty reads as greige-grey, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 13 for Double Duty vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Double Duty will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 17.3 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.
