Happy Trails vs Colonial Revival Tan
Where Happy Trails belongs to PPG's range, Colonial Revival Tan is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Colonial Revival Tan (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Happy Trails (LRV 47), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.8, 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.
