Family Ties vs Thin Ice

Family TiesPPGvsThin IcePPGΔE 19.9 — Distinct difference

Family Ties and Thin Ice come from the same PPG collection. Family Ties reads as beige, while Thin Ice reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 70 for Thin Ice vs 62 for Family Ties — means Thin Ice will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 19.9 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.
