Magic DustPPGvsPalmettoPPGΔE 20.2 — Distinct difference

Magic Dust and Palmetto come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Magic Dust belongs to the grey family and Palmetto to the blue family. The 8-point LRV gap — 29 for Palmetto vs 21 for Magic Dust — means Palmetto will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 20.2 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.
