Oak Buff vs Purity

Oak BuffPPGvsPurityPPGΔE 8.8Noticeable difference

Oak Buff and Purity come from the same PPG collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 11-point LRV gap — 80 for Purity vs 69 for Oak Buff — means Purity will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 8.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.

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