Pencilpoint vs Sourdough
Pencilpoint and Sourdough come from the same PPG collection. Pencilpoint reads as grey, while Sourdough reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 45-point LRV gap — 62 for Sourdough vs 17 for Pencilpoint — means Sourdough will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 36.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
