Happy Trails vs Sweet Gardenia

Happy TrailsPPGvsSweet GardeniaPPGΔE 19.2 — Distinct difference

Happy Trails and Sweet Gardenia come from the same PPG collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 31-point LRV gap — 78 for Sweet Gardenia vs 47 for Happy Trails — means Sweet Gardenia will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 19.2 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.
