Gristmill vs Naval
Gristmill (PPG) and Naval (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Gristmill reads as beige-greige, while Naval reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 25-point LRV gap — 29 for Gristmill vs 4 for Naval — means Gristmill will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 47.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
