Nutmeg vs Decorous Amber

PPG
·
Sherwin-Williams

Nutmeg (PPG) and Decorous Amber (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 20 vs 22 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 3.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
