Jute vs Iron Ore
Jute (PPG) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Jute reads as beige-greige, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 25-point LRV gap — 31 for Jute vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Jute will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 41.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Jute vs Iron Ore Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Jute on one side and Iron Ore 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.
