Kiss Me Kate vs Oatmeal

Kiss Me KatePPGvsOatmealPPGΔE 7.4Noticeable difference

Both from PPG's palette. Kiss Me Kate reads as green, while Oatmeal reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Kiss Me Kate (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Oatmeal (LRV 76), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
