Happy TrailsPPGvsGinger RootSherwin-WilliamsΔE 2.0Subtle difference

Happy Trails is a PPG color while Ginger Root comes from Sherwin-Williams. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 50 vs 47, Ginger Root will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.0, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
