It Works vs Purity
It Works and Purity come from the same PPG collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 53-point LRV gap — 80 for Purity vs 27 for It Works — means Purity will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 40.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
