Pastel Paper vs Thin Ice paint color comparison

Pastel Paper vs Thin Ice

Pastel PaperPPGvsThin IcePPGΔE 7.8 — Noticeable difference

Both from PPG's palette. Pastel Paper reads as beige, while Thin Ice reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pastel Paper (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Thin Ice (LRV 70), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
