Oatmeal vs Velvet Scarf

Oatmeal and Velvet Scarf come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Oatmeal belongs to the beige-greige family and Velvet Scarf to the blue-purple family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 76 vs 75 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 13.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
