Montego Bay vs Sourdough

Montego BayPPGvsSourdoughPPGΔE 43.2Very different colors

Both from PPG's palette. Montego Bay reads as blue, while Sourdough reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sourdough (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Montego Bay (LRV 40), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 43.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
