Hideaway vs Cargo Pants

HideawayPPGvsCargo PantsSherwin-WilliamsΔE 1.6Subtle difference

Hideaway is a PPG color while Cargo Pants comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 56 vs 52, Cargo Pants will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 1.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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.
