Glow Worm vs Horseradish

Glow WormPPGvsHorseradishPPGΔE 52.1Very different colors

Glow Worm and Horseradish come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Glow Worm belongs to the yellow family and Horseradish to the beige-yellow family. The 24-point LRV gap — 81 for Horseradish vs 57 for Glow Worm — means Horseradish will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 52.1 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.
