Paddle Wheel vs Purity

Paddle WheelPPGvsPurityPPGΔE 46.1Very different colors

Paddle Wheel and Purity come from the same PPG collection. Paddle Wheel reads as beige-greige, while Purity reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 63-point LRV gap — 80 for Purity vs 17 for Paddle Wheel — means Purity will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 46.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
