Heliotrope vs Snowbound
Heliotrope (PPG) and Snowbound (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Heliotrope reads as grey, while Snowbound reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 52-point LRV gap — 83 for Snowbound vs 31 for Heliotrope — means Snowbound will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 30.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Heliotrope vs Snowbound Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Heliotrope on one side and Snowbound on the other.
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.
