Gentle Doe vs Siesta

Gentle DoePPGvsSiestaTikkurilaΔE 4.0Noticeable difference

Gentle Doe is a PPG color while Siesta comes from Tikkurila. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. With LRVs of 51 and 51, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 4.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
