Paddle Wheel vs Pearl gold
Where Paddle Wheel belongs to PPG's range, Pearl gold is a RAL Classic color. Paddle Wheel reads as beige-greige, while Pearl gold reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pearl gold (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Paddle Wheel (LRV 17), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
