OatmealPPGvsSilveradoPPGΔE 49.3 — Very different colors

Both from PPG's palette. Oatmeal reads as beige-greige, while Silverado reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Oatmeal (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Silverado (LRV 17), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 49.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
