Paraffin vs Lamp Black
Paraffin (PPG) and Lamp Black (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. The 72-point LRV gap — 75 for Paraffin vs 3 for Lamp Black — means Paraffin will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 71.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
Paraffin vs Lamp Black Color Comparison
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.
