Magic Wand vs Oatmeal

Magic WandPPGvsOatmealPPGΔE 16.0Distinct difference

Magic Wand and Oatmeal come from the same PPG collection. Magic Wand reads as blue, while Oatmeal reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 9-point LRV gap — 76 for Oatmeal vs 67 for Magic Wand — means Oatmeal will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 16.0 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
