Lime Splash vs Magic Dust

Lime SplashPPGvsMagic DustPPGΔE 56.0Very different colors

Lime Splash and Magic Dust come from the same PPG collection. Lime Splash reads as yellow, while Magic Dust reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 43-point LRV gap — 64 for Lime Splash vs 21 for Magic Dust — means Lime Splash will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 56.0 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.

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.
