Pewter Mug vs Cloak

Pewter MugPPGvsCloakTikkurilaΔE 6.0Noticeable difference

Pewter Mug (PPG) and Cloak (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 23 for Pewter Mug vs 20 for Cloak — means Pewter Mug will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 6.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
