Kingston AquaPPGvsRest AssuredSherwin-WilliamsΔE 3.6Noticeable difference

Kingston Aqua (PPG) and Rest Assured (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Kingston Aqua reads as blue, while Rest Assured reads as blue-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 49 for Rest Assured vs 46 for Kingston Aqua — means Rest Assured will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
