Leather vs Cardboard
Leather is a PPG color while Cardboard comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. With LRVs of 21 and 22, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Leather vs Cardboard Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Leather on one side and Cardboard 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.
