High Sierra vs Tradewinds
Both from PPG's palette. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. High Sierra (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Tradewinds (LRV 69), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.1, 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see High Sierra on one side and Tradewinds 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.
