Only OlivePPGvsSourdoughPPGΔE 6.5Noticeable difference

Only Olive and Sourdough come from the same PPG collection. Only Olive reads as beige-greige, while Sourdough reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 62 for Sourdough vs 58 for Only Olive — means Sourdough will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 6.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
