OatmealPPGvsViva La BleuPPGΔE 32.8 — Very different colors

Oatmeal and Viva La Bleu come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Oatmeal belongs to the beige-greige family and Viva La Bleu to the blue family. The 26-point LRV gap — 76 for Oatmeal vs 50 for Viva La Bleu — means Oatmeal will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 32.8 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.
