Karma vs Magic Dust
Karma and Magic Dust come from the same PPG collection. Karma reads as beige-greige, while Magic Dust reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 16-point LRV gap — 37 for Karma vs 21 for Magic Dust — means Karma will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 27.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
