Lion's Mane vs Purity
Lion's Mane and Purity come from the same PPG collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 34-point LRV gap — 80 for Purity vs 46 for Lion's Mane — means Purity will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 37.5 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.
