Niagara MistPPGvsArtichokeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 27.5Very different colors

Niagara Mist (PPG) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Niagara Mist reads as green-grey, while Artichoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 33-point LRV gap — 54 for Niagara Mist vs 21 for Artichoke — means Niagara Mist will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 27.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.

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