Gray Suit vs Dustblu

Gray SuitPPGvsDustbluSherwin-WilliamsΔE 1.5Subtle difference

Where Gray Suit belongs to PPG's range, Dustblu is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (34 vs 32), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
