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.

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.
